Truffles always bring back lots of childhood memories for me. As children, we were always allowed to choose a truffle to eat at grandma's. Even back then, I preferred the dark chocolate truffles to the milk chocolate or white chocolate varieties. Thanks to the Christmas spices, these vegan truffles are perfect for the colder months and have a wonderfully chocolatey taste. Tip: Dissolve a truffle in a cup of hot milk to make a delicious chai hot chocolate.
