I have always enjoyed delicious dark chocolate truffles from gourmet restaurants and shops, but some of those ran $3 or more for one truffle! So I wanted to learn how to make my own truffles, and I was amazed when I found out how to make them.
I only share simple recipes, and chocolate truffles are seriously one of the easiest desserts you can make! And the truffles are a no bake chocolate dessert, which means you don’t even need to use the oven to make them.
So if you are looking to buy chocolate truffles, check out this recipe first! Instead of spending $3 or more per truffle, you can make a whole batch of truffles for $5 or so!
I often get questions about why chocolate truffles are so expensive. And I always recommend making your own, as for the price of two truffles at a restaurant, you can make a whole batch, for both eating and to give them to others as gifts!

All you need to make amazing chocolate truffles are two ingredients, chocolate and heavy cream! That’s it, as long as you have these two ingredients on hand, you can make these easy chocolate truffles.

I think these are the easiest truffles I’ve ever seen. Now to figure out how to not eat them all in one sitting.
Thank you, Andrea! And it’s hard not to eat them all at once 🙂

These are one of the easiest truffles recipes I’ve come across. They look fun and yummy!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy them.
I love chocolate truffle. It is an easy recipe and delicious.
Would these truffles be ok to send thru the mail. I am sending goodies to my son and he would love these.
Hi Kimberly, as you need to keep the truffles in the fridge, we do not recommend sending them by mail. Can you send sprinkles, chocolate chips and a link to the recipe to your son? Then he will just need to get some heavy cream, and he will be able to make it.
I love how truffles can be made with simply chocolate and heavy cream. So delicious, plus they look extra inviting with all those colorful sprinkles.
These are super simple, and cute with the rainbow sprinkles!
3 ingredient desserts are my kind of desserts! Thank you!
