The Story:
Alright, truffles may be a new favorite.  First of all, they are totally easy and low maintenance! Second, they are so simple to transport.  I freak out when I drive with cupcakes.  I seriously need a “Cupcakes on Board” sign for my car window because I drive like an old woman with that precious cargo.  These amazing little treats just melt in your mouth.

    I’ve never eaten this candy, but just by looking at it I can imagine its delicious flavor. The combination of these two ingredients is also very strange and I will definitely try it as soon as possible. maybe.
