PORT WINE LOVER'S TRUFFLE'S
I seen these made on a local TV channel, They looked so Yummy. They are dipped in chocolate or rolled in chopped nuts or use a truffle mold. On the show it was also poured into a port wine glass and served as a dessert. I am not sure of how many that this makes, it has to do with the size of glass or size of truffle. Chilling time not included. The recipe is courtesy of the Fudge Factory Farm.
