Hey everyone,

Welcome back to 7 days of Christmas baking! Today I'm going to be sharing a recipe with you that would be perfect for last minute gifts. It's Salted Chocolate Truffles - enjoy! xxx

Ingredients (Makes 20):

300ml of Double Cream
330g of Dark Chocolate
A bit of Butter
1 tsp. of Sea Salt

Cocoa Powder
Chopped Hazelnuts
Chopped Pistachios
Edible Gold Glitter
Popping Candy
Freeze Dried Raspberries
Desiccated Coconut
Ground Coffee Beans
Hundreds and Thousands

Heat the cream over a medium heat in a pan until bubbles begin to form at the sides.

Whilst it's heating, break the chocolate up into pieces and place in a large bowl.

When the cream is ready, add a bit of butter and stir until melted.

Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate and stir until it's all melted and combined. Add the salt and mix through, then put in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

About 30 minutes before you are ready to make your truffles, take the mixture out of the fridge so it has warmed slightly.

Pop all your preferred toppings into separate bowls and have a plate at the ready to put the truffles on.

Use a teaspoon to scoop up the chocolate and use your hands to form 2cm truffles. Roll them in your topping of choice and ensure each one if fully coated, then put onto the plate. Keep them into the fridge until it's needed.

So, I hope you all enjoyed this post, and I will see you all tomorrow for day 3!

Love Lou
