Nothing like time spent in a well-loved garden on a sunny afternoon...fruit, flowers and little creatures...cup of tea in hand...Lily picking raspberries with my Dad....happiness abounds.

Hand-made chocolate truffles

Hotel Chocolat sent me some 40% milk chocolate drops and white chocolate drops to play with. Knowing how much my older sister loves Hotel Chocolat chocolate I thought I would make some chocolate truffles to sit on my Winter Woodland dessert table.

To start here are some plain chocolate ones that I decadently rolled in Hotel Chocolat drinking chocolate flakes so they were pure Hotel Chocolat!

Have a sweet day!
