Handmade Easter Chocolates

Making homemade gourmet chocolates for Easter is easier then you might think.  Fresh chocolates taste better, have cleaner ingredients and are much more fun then store bought chocolate brands.  What better way to show your love to your little bunnies then to have them discover fresh chocolates Easter morning?

The following recipe is a California favorite.  This is a base chocolate recipe that you can adapt and flavor in many ways. If you want to make your truffles dairy free, soy free and Kosher Pareve for Passover, substitute the milk chocolate with our Pareve Organic Dark Chocolate 70% and in place of butter, use Pareve coconut cream. 

The chocolates shown in the picture are some of the ways we decorate: coffee bean, crushed nuts or cocoa powder. Let your imagination fly and experiment.  One thing is for sure, your chocolates will taste great.

If you don't want to temper the milk chocolate coating, please use our milk chocolate compound coating. Just chill to set truffles after coating.
