These Gingerbread Truffles are not only super yummy but they look really cute too! These don’t require many ingredients and you may already have them at home. You could use semi sweet chocolate chips instead of white chocolate if you’d prefer but I really like them with white chocolate. These are great little treats in the winter months. Enjoy!
