Man does that look fantastic - I'd love to go into a sugar coma eating some of that!
Thanks Joe! I don't think I can actually eat any of the truffles ~ I am so overpowered by the smell of melted chocolate!
Oooooh... I really hate you now! LOL I just gained ten pounds looking at those beauties and drooled on my clothes too...
Really, though, those are amazing looking! I can't wait to tell my sister and mom about them. I think they'll fall in love with the pictures too. :)
