White Chocolate Raspberry Truffles
What it is
These are small, rich confections made with white chocolate and infused with the flavor of raspberries. The smooth, creamy texture of the white chocolate is complemented by the bright, slightly tart taste of the fruit. They are typically formed into bite-sized spheres or logs and often coated in additional chocolate or cocoa powder. The combination offers a sweet and fruity indulgence.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their quality, store any remaining truffles in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity. If the weather is warm, refrigeration may be necessary to prevent them from softening too much, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
