Notes
- You don’t have to, but they taste a lot better when they are roasted. The heat draws out their natural oils which makes them more flavorful.
- Yes, you can use a mix of roasted nuts, such as cashews, pecans, walnuts or even hazelnuts.
- They should be stored in an airtight container. They will last at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. If you house is quite warm, then the refrigerator is best.
- They can also be frozen, freeze the truffles on a cookie sheet until firm. Then move to a freezer safe bag or container. They will last for up to 6 months.
