If there’s one special holiday treat you should make this year, it’s these red wine truffles! We teamed up with Barefoot Wine to create the most decadent and delicious red wine truffles made with Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon. We all know wine and chocolate compliment each other nicely, but pairing them together in a dessert is even better. The combination of the rich chocolate and berry notes of the wine are the perfect match and then we rolled some of them in raspberry dust, which adds a touch of tartness. SO GOOD. These truffles actually make you want to enjoy a glass of wine! And this recipe is so easy to make… like really easy! You’ll definitely fool people into thinking you spent hours on these, considering they’re lavishly enjoyable! Red wine truffles make sweet gifts too! Recipe below… cheers!
