When my husband and I met (23 years ago, eeps!!) he informed me of his love of chocolate-covered cherries.
Now, there are very few things that I do NOT like, and those Queen Anne chocolate-covered cherries are on the list. But, like a good wife, I buy a box for my husband every single Christmas.
And every single New Year’s, I throw them in the trash. Because as it turns out, he doesn’t like them.
And I forget this piece of information every year, that his taste buds have changed and he no longer enjoys that holiday treat.
But, you know what we DO have in common? Our love of homemade truffles.
As it turns out, we BOTH enjoyed this chocolate-covered cherry truffles recipe! I even made a quick little video for you, to see just how easy they are to make.
