Happy end of 2008, and Joyous New Year all!

These champagne truffles seemed a perfect choice for New Year's Eve., and were some of the best truffles I've tasted from Teuscher's U.S. based shops. The Swiss really do make great, smooth milk chocolate. I liked this "standard" (milk chocolate) version better than the dark chocolate Champagne Truffles (that I had last year).
