There is nothing that I love more than giving the gift of food! I find it difficult to find the perfect gift and when I can make something that is tasty and fun instead of buying something off the shelves it makes me that much happier. These Poinsettia Truffles are the perfect gift idea to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Poinsettia Truffles
Our Poinsettia Truffles are red velvet filled with NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE Holiday Morsels truffles covered in NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE Premier White Chocolate Morsels. They are so rich and moist that they are the perfect indulgent dessert for an adult. Plus, they are tons of fun for the kids because of the NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE Holiday Morsels. My girls loved biting in and finding the fun Christmas colors.
The addition of the gold sprinkles was the perfect finishing touch to add to the truffles to make them look like just like poinsettias. Plus, they were easy for my girls to dust on to the truffles after they were rolled in the NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE Premier White Chocolate Morsels.
The finishing touch was placing them on top of the poinsettia cut out, which was just red cardstock cut to have four petals on each one. So each truffle holder had two cut outs of the poinsettia leaves that intersected that I simply glued down. I then glued down a round piece of yellow tissue paper onto the center of each poinsettia that I then set the truffle onto.
