Nutella Espresso Chocolate Truffles just melt in your mouth! Gosh I am so delighted and happy to share this Nutella Espresso Chocolate Truffles :)………. My first attempt to make them with almond filling. It came out so well and yummy. This valentines day try these Truffles for some antioxidants to romance ;)…My neighbor, hubby, hubbys office mates loved these dessert. In fact I have made extra so I can distribute them as Easter Goodies to my loved ones 🙂
The best part is Chocolate Truffles are so easy! Wonder why didn’t I dread to make them earlier. I thought it’s quite difficult but I couldn’t resist making them.

I hope my family, loved ones and friends love this yummy Nutella Chocolate Truffles! Actually I have made more for small kids of my sister in law and the youngest one from them is really cute. He adores me I adore him looks like my second love 😉
