Christmas is in the air! Hymns and carols serenade us as I pack foods like these chocolate truffles for family. My giddy girls complete the joyous process of their last few weeks – carefully finding and wrapping gifts for friends and family members.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends. I’m excited for 2013 (we have some exciting things planned here at Deliciously Organic!) and the opportunity to continue walking along this journey of healthy eating and living.
Merry Christmas from my family to yours.
Chocolate Truffles (Grain Free, Dairy Free, Paleo)
You can add different extracts to the truffles to change the flavor. One of my favorites is almond extract.
