Hotel Chocolat sent me some 40% milk chocolate drops and white chocolate drops to play with. Knowing how much my older sister loves Hotel Chocolat chocolate I thought I would make some chocolate truffles to sit on my Winter Woodland dessert table.

To start here are some plain chocolate ones that I decadently rolled in Hotel Chocolat drinking chocolate flakes so they were pure Hotel Chocolat!

Have a sweet day!
