I may be in college, but I will forever be a little 8 year old girl deep in my heart. Besides the "horror" factor of Halloween, I absolutely love everything about the holiday. The costumes, the innocent, family-friendly movies (Halloweentown, anyone?!), the brisk trick-or-treating nights. And most of all...the candy!
Like many people, I have a terrible sweet tooth. I love sugary snacks the same way I did when I was younger, and quite possibly even more so!
Though I must say, as I much as I love candy, I like to switch it up every so often. And the Halloween candy available in stores starts becoming a bit...repetitive. How many chewy-fruity-juicy-explosions of tropical flavors and nougaty-caramel-peanut-butter-coconut chocolate sensations can we possibly have?!
Sure, they are all delicious, timeless, and I certainly will still munch on them even in the post-Halloween season. But there's certainly nothing wrong with bringing sweets to a higher level than those shiny wrapper-concealed candies you got for Halloween.
And thus I present...truffles! These rich, decadent chocolate concoctions are named after the wild mushrooms that they bear a resemblance to, and although they might look like simple chocolates, it's so easy to jazz them up and make them even more appetizing than they already are.
Here are some truffle recipes with added pizzazz and fun that I think would be incredibly simple and delicious. I wish I had the resources to make these chocolates when I'm at school, but I definitely plan on making these in the near future! If you have a quiet Halloween night planned but still want some indulgence, these will easily satisfy your palate.
