Shortbread Chocolate Truffles

Shortbread Chocolate Truffles

There's nothing quite like a homemade gift, especially when it involves something sweet! This Valentine’s Day, treat someone special to a box of homemade shortbread chocolate truffles. Made with our delicious all-butter shortbread, coated in smooth milk chocolate, and beautifully boxed up to impress.

Ingredients

1 box 5.3 oz Walker’s Shortbread Fingers, finely crushed

8.8 oz dark chocolate

3 fl oz heavy cream

1.8 oz white chocolate

Method

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed shortbread. Melt 5.3 oz of dark chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water, then pour it into the bowl. Add the heavy cream and mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.

Spoon the mixture into heart-shaped molds, pressing it down firmly. Place in the fridge for an hour until fully set.

Melt the remaining dark chocolate, then carefully remove the truffles from the molds. Insert a cocktail stick into the base of each truffle, dip them into the melted chocolate, and allow them to set upright.

Once the chocolate has set, melt the white chocolate and use a spoon to drizzle it over the truffles, creating a delicate striped pattern.

Allow the chocolate to set once more, then enjoy the truffles as they are or wrap them in foil for a thoughtful gift!
