Cranberry & Cacao Truffles

In the spirit of Easter I decided to create a little healthy Easter treat, rather than indulging on processed store bought versions. I am so delighted with this gem of a truffle recipe, they worked out beautifully. Rich chocolate flavors with a chewy tart Canadian cranberries to spark the taste buds. Fabulously good! Who needs Cadbury Cream Eggs when you have these!

There is no need to feel like you are missing out this Easter or any time, when you can be treated with these amazing truffles!
