Recipe Description

This recipe for White Chocolate and Dried Fruit Truffles is really easy to make and tastes like homemade candy! I love to make batches of these when I visit friends. A jar of these truffles always goes down a treat. They couldn’t be easier to make either.

To make this recipe, I soak apricots, dates, raisins, and rum essence in a bowl. I then process these with butter until a paste forms. Melt chocolate over a bain marie. Combine the melted chocolate and walnuts with the fruit paste. Shape the mixture into balls and roll each one in coconut or cocoa.
