Why Making Truffles Is Ill-Advised

Ellie and I made three kinds of truffles yesterday. They were my big plan to use as a gift for people that we really care about but don't have the money to get them the kind of gift they would want or deserve. Homemade truffles are fancy enough to use as a nice gift, right?

Well, the ingredients are somewhat pricy, but not more so than a lot of other Christmas baking. And making the insides was actually pretty fun. But the rolling them into little balls? And dipping them into melted chocolate? And rolling them in powdered sugar and crushed mints? NO THANK YOU. And by the way, they took about 4 hours to make.

They turned out really nice (and tasty). They look awfully pretty in their cute little tins. I'm glad I did it even if the process was very long and messy. Okay. Maybe I'll make them again. We'll see.
