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.
