Truffles are a must-have on Valentine's Day, so why not make them at home? You don't need any special equipment, and they only require a handful of ingredients. This recipe for Cocoa Nib Truffles is by our resident chocolate guru,@now_forager. If you don't like the bitter taste of cocoa nibs, consider sprinkling some freeze dried-berries or valentine's day themed sprinkles on top instead.
