Directions
A Partridge in a Chocolate Truffle Tree!, This is such a wonderful way of serving your chocolate truffles at Christmas or New Year – or indeed any special winter festival! I do make my own truffles for this, but you can buy ready-made truffles for ease and speed of course! I love to see my family and friend’s faces when I bring the coffee and chocolates out with this Truffle Tree! Allow yourself plenty of time to assemble this, the plant pot and the tree trunk can be prepared beforehand; once the chocolate truffle tree has been assembled, it will be fine for up to 2 days before you need to serve it, stored in a very cool and dry place – NOT a fridge however I have made this with a well-known gold wrapped chocolate nut truffle before, as well as the white chocolate and coconut version by the same company! The truffles shown in my photos are local hand-made truffles, but any firm high chocolate truffle is fine I have my own truffle recipe posted on zaar, Recipe #271012 which also works very well with this tree! Have fun – and just watch your guest’s faces when you bring this out!! NB: You can also make this with marshmallows and other suitable sweets or candy, especially for children , If I could give this 10 stars, I would The instuctions are perfect and make it very easy to put together The finished product is brilliant! I did an assortment of truffles with a big red and green holiday bow and it is an amazingly festive centerpiece Be prepared to become a truffle factory because people are inhaling them off the tree French Tart – Thank you so much for posting this creative design and for your help during the project Happy Holidays!
