Christmas is a time to indulge in decadent treats that are usually off limits the rest of the year. Unfortunately for me, my expensive taste doesn’t fit within a reasonable budget. How do I survive without Costco in England? I make my own truffles.
Why do I make homemade Baileys Truffles?
If you do the same, you end up with delicious truffles that are a fraction of the price of store bought brands. Homemade Baileys truffles are infinitely more delicious with the added bonus of having your arms covered in chocolate up to your elbows. No exaggeration. It’s great fun. Do it in the evening with a Christmas movie playing in the background and you won’t feel like you are stuck in the kitchen.
As much as truffles are fun to make they are even more fun to decorate! Involve your children and turn it into a great family activity. This recipe makes enough truffles to give some away as homemade Christmas gifts. Who wouldn’t love a box of decadent sweets in their stocking!!
This recipe is easily adaptable to any flavour. I made mine with Irish Cream but you can use any liqueur you like or leave it out, you truffles won’t suffer one little bit. If you are a white chocolate lover check out this recipe for White Chocolate and Coconut Truffles.
