Orange Chocolate Truffles [Paid Partnership]

These Truffles are a staple in my yearly Christmas baking. Though baking my be a farfetched word, since you really don't need to bake these Truffles. They are great every year and even the most uninspired Christmas cookie guest will fall for these Orange and Chocolate truffles. An extra ump is added with Kotanyis dried Oranges that give the Truffles an extra crunch to them. Simple, quick and absolutely easy these truffles can be made right before Christmas Eve or way ahead of time. Refrigerated they can last up to month.
