Truffles with Chocolate Orange and Vanilla
20—30 Min
All Christmas baking ought to include these truffles. Although the term "baking" is a bit of a stretch here, as of course, these truffles don't need to be baked! They can be prepared a long time in advance as they keep for up to a month once cooled.
