Healthy Mother’s Day Chocolate Truffles –
It’s almost Mother’s Day and we can’t think of a better way of celebrate with your mum than by making her this delicious and nutritious box of loveliness. There’s no better way of showing someone you care than putting the time in to make them something and this delightful chocolate box not only looks fantastic – it tastes it too.
I’ve topped mine with: sea buckthorn powder, blueberry powder, ground almonds and sesame seeds but the possibilities here are endless, you could use any type of nuts, seeds, cacao powder, coconut…….
