Salted Butter Cookie Chocolate Truffles
Today I am catching up from two days of work on a super exciting new project I can’t wait to reveal. In the mean time, I have to post about this super recipe I found on My Little Paris when it landed in my inbox last week. It is a recipe from Poilane, one of the many amazing places we visited when we traveled to Paris a few springs ago. It is the best kind of sweet in that it is delicious and it barely takes any effort.
The gist of the recipe is that you crush up your favorite butter cookies, combine them with dark chocolate and cream, and make amazing dark chocolate truffles. There are 4 (four!) ingredients and that’s all!
