—PIN THIS RECIPE—

If you love lemon – or know someone who does, then you MUST  make these White Chocolate Lemon Truffles asap! I know the word “truffles” sounds intimidating and all, but I assure you that they are easy to make! With the holiday season upon us, they make a great homemade gift for the lemon lover on your list. They also make a nice unexpected but tasty treat when added to your Christmas cookie tray! People will be asking you for the recipe!

This may sound strange to you, but one of the things I love about winter is the abundance of fresh citrus! I know most people think of chocolate or peppermint during this time of the year, but I think of those, plus CITRUS! Living in Phoenix, lemons, limes, clementines, grapefruit, kumquats, and oranges are easily accessible this time of the year. I can pick them from my own tree or get some from my neighbors! As a matter of fact, when we moved into our house one of the first things we planted was a lemon tree because I LOVE using lemon for cooking and baking!

Although these White Chocolate Lemon Truffles are great during the holiday season, please don’t limit them to only the holiday season! They’re great in the spring and summer as well! 😊 And really, with how easy and delicious these little creamy treats are, you’ll want to make them all year long!

A few of my blogger friends decided to get together and make something special for our friend, Ashley from The Recipe Rebel. She had her sweet baby girl over the weekend. Congratulations to the family on the new addition! Be sure to stop by and see what they made:

Ingredients

• 1 cup white chocolate chips
