Choco-Orange Truffles

Last 2 weeks had been a chaos… Packing & moving everything to our new place, too many cake orders on hand, unpacking in the following week and again too many cake orders to work on!!! Huh… Still a few boxes left unpacked in a corner of one room but I’m happy that we coped up with everything smoothly :)
Haven’t got a chance to click/cook anything special since we moved :( But I’m getting back on track now… Trying to be regular on blog again! And here I’m starting with a sweet note which was pending since long… “Choco-Orange Truffles”, picture of which I posted on 4th bloganniversary celebration day without a recipe :P
What I love about these sweet balls is… I get to use all the unused cake crumbs :P

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups Chocolate Cake Crumbs (leftover)
2 tsp Melted Butter
A pinch of Salt
1/2 tsp Orange Zest
3-4 drops Orange Extract
1/4 to 1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1-2 tbsp Chopped Almonds

STEPS TO FOLLOW:

1. Take all the ingredients in a big bowl and mix them well.
2. Knead a soft dough by adding orange juice gradually as required.
3. Divide it in 10 equal portions and make balls out of them.
4. Serve chilled!

SJ’s NOTE:

You can use your choice of nuts for a nutty crunch i.e. Pecans, Walnuts, Cashewnuts, Pistachios etc :)
