If you like making your own stuff, these chocolate truffles would be very welcome Easter gifts. Flavour them with something you know your lucky person likes- maybe peppermint or orange, or rum or brandy. I've got lots of ideas for you to try.

Sherry trifle hits the roof!

Now my Sherry Trifle Recipe has reached 373 in lensrank I'm feeling pretty excited! Nearly 3,000 visits this week!
I've still only sold one pack of custard from it, ever, but at least I know lots of people are reading it.
I've got all the ingredients for mine, which I'll make on Friday to serve on Boxing Day.

Time to start making those homemade goodies

If you're thinking of giving home made sweets or homemade candies for Christmas, you can make my delicious
homemade chocolate truffles now, and freeze them .
If you take a look at my guide on How to make home made chocolate truffles you'll see lots of variations on the basic recipe, so that you can personalise your homemade Christmas gift. For example, if you're making chocolate truffles for a man who loves brandy, use some brandy in the recipe- simple!
If  you're making my homemade chocolate truffles for someone who loves nuts, rolls the truffles in crushed pistachios.There are lots more ideas suggested.

I've also suggested ways of packaging your truffles to make the gift look really professional. Good presentation is important.

Now that clocks have gone back, and the days are shorter, spending time messing around in the kitchen is a pleasant way to pass a few house. Just make sure you don't eat all the truffles yourself right now! Obviously you'll need to try a few, to "test" them , but try to save some to freeze for Christmas gifts.
