Another treat to try this year

Super Bowl Party Dessert: Truffle Truffles. Both San Francisco and Kansas City are known for chocolate, Ghirardelli and Russell Stover so fans of both teams eat on. Infuse 1 package of cream cheese, 3 cups of chocolate chips, 1 cup of nuts with Oregon Black truffle. Blend cream cheese, melted chocolate and three cups of confectioners sugar. Refrigerate for about an hour. Roll into bite size balls. If you like nuts, roll in infused chopped nuts. Easy sweet treat.

We do this...yummy truffles coming in May, June and July

Pour imprégner vos œufs du parfum de la truffe : la porosité de sa coquille permet à l’œuf de capter les saveurs de la truffe et mieux les restituer une fois cuisiné.
Bon appétit !
