Notes

Do You Have To Roast The Almonds?

You don’t have to, but they taste a lot better when they are roasted. The heat draws out their natural oils which makes them more flavorful.

Can you use other kinds of nuts?

Yes, you can use a mix of roasted nuts, such as cashews, pecans, walnuts or even hazelnuts.

How to store the chocolate truffles

They should be stored in an airtight container. They will last at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. If you house is quite warm, then the refrigerator is best.

Can the chocolate truffles be frozen?

They can also be frozen, freeze the truffles on a cookie sheet until firm. Then move to a freezer safe bag or container. They will last for up to 6 months.
