By Brenda Hyde Truffles are easy to make, and are a wonderful romantic gesture when given to someone you care about. Whether you wrap them in a pretty tin, or serve them after a light dinner, they add to the atmosphere. For the chocolate lover they are the perfect gift! We have several recipes for you to choose from that will bring smiles and hugs. Gift Giving Notes: Small foil cups can be bought at stores where they carry candy making supplies. You can also buy romantic themed tins and place the truffles in one layer. Place cellophane wrap in the bottom of the tin first, and leave enough to bring it up and over the top of the truffles before closing the tin. Wrap with a gold ribbon and a matching gift tag for giving. If serving the truffles after dinner, place the small foil cups on a doily lined plate. If you are new to working with chocolate, be sure to read our All About Chocolate primer first. Then, dig in, you'll be a first class chocolatier in no time!
