If you’ve never made homemade chocolate truffles before, you’re in for a treat! I have a good variety of truffle recipes hiding in the archives (including oreo truffles, grand marnier truffles, and salted peanut butter truffles) but let’s be serious – can one ever have too many truffle recipes?!
Obviously we both know the answer to that is NO. So when a reader (Hi Liz!) requested Kahlua Chocolate Truffles, I was all over it. Since Kahlua is a coffee liqueur, and coffee plays so well with chocolate, I just knew this flavor combination would be a hit. I also added a teaspoon of espresso powder to really amp up the flavor and balance out the sweetness.
