I love to entertain and I really love surprising people with great tasting food that is also healthy and vegan!  I think people tend to assume that because I do not consume animal products that I also have given up on taste and that is simply untrue!

This truffle recipe is so easy it can be made in minutes, and rolling the different toppings on can be a family affair.  You will not be disappointed with these yummy treats.  -Om Shanti ~Michele

Roll about a tablespoon size amount into balls.  Rolls the balls into your toppings.  I have listed some here I like to use but you can go wild with ideas.  Then refrigerate them for 1-2 hours to serve.  Now, try not to eat too many.
