Have you ever wanted to get a buzz without having to consume face-scrunching shots or poorly mixed cocktails? Good news, it’s doable. With this 6 ingredient Boozy Chocolate Truffle recipe, you’ll get that ideal buzz while indulging in decadent truffles - what a win-win! You’re probably wondering, “doesn’t alcohol cook off when you try to incorporate it into food?” Most of the time, that is the case, but these chocolate truffles don’t require any baking or cooking so the amount of alcohol you put in is the amount of alcohol you’ll get. For this recipe, we are opting for whiskey and semisweet chocolate. The nutty flavor of whiskey pairs harmoniously with semisweet chocolate, yielding a well balanced dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
