You guys! These truffles are truly a dream come true. Loosely based on a recipe from Rocco DiSpirito’s Negative Calorie Diet Cookbook, mine are true gems. Diamonds in the rough. Better than the best.
All I can say at this point is thank goodness the recipe only makes 10 at a time. I am afraid of these because they are addicting. And hey, if Rocco says they are negative calories, I’ll bite. No pun intended.
You really can blame these truffles on Jennifer, my friend from Peanut Butter and Peppers. She convinced me that I needed to stay home and make these. I was really going to go to Macy’s and buy an outfit for my niece’s upcoming bridal shower that I am hosting.
Oh well. At least I made a winning recipe and I think you all need to make them too.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
