These delicious chocolate covered fruit truffles have just two ingredients and make the perfect homemade Valentine’s Day gift because who doesn’t love homemade gifts + chocolate?
Why this recipe works
You can use virtually any fruit for the inside, and any chocolate for the outside. You can leave them plain, dust them with cocoa, or drizzle them with white chocolate.
I think they’ll make the perfect romantic gift for your health-loving, chocolate-addicted significant other. Put them in a goodie box with some Valentine’s Day Chocolate Covered Strawberries!
The idea for these chocolate-covered fruit truffles came from these frozen blueberry bites I made a while back, which are just blueberries dipped in yogurt and frozen into addictive little snacks. Sometimes the simplest way is the tastiest way, and that’s the case with these chocolate truffles as well!
