Truffley fun!

I have two Pesach truffle recipes for you here - one very rich and indulgent, at 3pp per truffle. The other is a take on my favourite Nakd bars - thanks to a poster on the Weight Watchers forum for this fantastic idea. They are 2pp each, or 3pp for two.

INDULGENT TRUFFLES

INGREDIENTS

4oz plain chocolate

2oz soft margarine

2 egg yolks

2oz ground almonds

6oz icing sugar

Melt the chocolate and the margarine together and stir in theremaining ingredients. Mix to a stiff paste and refrigerate for at least anhour. Roll into little balls and roll the balls in either icing sugar,chocolate vermicelli, coloured sprinkles or ground nuts. Makes around 25truffles. Can be frozen and actually taste great frozen – they lastmuch longer that way! Very rich so you won’t need more than 1.

HEALTHY TRUFFLES

10g cocoa
