    These 5 ingredient Kahlua Chocolate Truffles are mouth watering tasty! Rich, creamy, and melt in your mouth…..what are you waiting for?

    rich chocolate truffles with a kahlua flavoring

    Each week, I try to make a new dessert to enjoy over the weekend! The kids and hubby all enjoy the sweet treats and typically, by the end of the weekend, its either gone, or I send it to work with my hubby so we can all get back on track for the week ahead!

    Do you have a sweet tooth as well? If so, check out these other favorites:

    flavorful truffles with a chocolate kahlua taste

    Last week, I made these truffles (no, my kids did not get these….I made them chocolate chip cookies because of the Kahlua in these) and my hubby went crazy over them! I even sent a few to work with him for one of his coworkers, and again, big hit! In fact, several of his coworkers immediately asked me for the recipe!

    Fun fact, I tend to make a lot of my recipes and send them to work with my hubby. I get lots of feedback before I even share the recipe on the blog, so I am able to tweak as needed! Plus, who doesn’t enjoy a tasty goodie to break up their work day, right?!

    bite sized truffles with chocolate and kahlua tastes in each bite

    The texture is smooth and creamy, rich taste, and slight hint of Kahlua. The chocolate was incredibly mouth watering decadent and after one truffle, our sweet tooth was satisfied!

    I ended up making about 30 of these because of the size, so these would make a great party treat, sweet treat to giveaway to others, or as a dessert in the evenings (or anytime of the day, right?!?!).

    rich, decadent truffles perfect for any sweet tooth craving

    The outer layer of grated chocolate was the perfect addition to top these off and I definitely will be keeping these in our sweet treat rotation!

    Keep them in the refrigerator and pop one out once ready to enjoy!
