You will not believe how amazingly quick and easy these truffles are to prepare and how delicious they taste! They are gluten free, vegan friendly and they do not have any added sugar.
I use natural peanut butter which has no added sugar, preservatives or shortening and I use organic fair-trade chocolate.
These are a decatant treat to put out with coffee at the end of an evening dinner party.
