My late friend Marcel had a way with all things chocolate and these Chocolate Matcha Truffles are no exception. They are too good to make that often.
I went through a phase where I drank matcha green tea latte's almost daily and loved every drop. When my friend Marcel found out she came up with this recipe and made it for me.
Oh boy was it delicious. Frankly, delicious isn't even the word. These Chocolate Matcha Truffles should be on every chocolate lovers bucket list. They are that good.
Feel free to serve them in squares like I do. My friend Marcel made them this way and this is how I will make them until I am dead.
You have the option of using a melon baller or scoop to make these truffles like round balls if you are interested. I find it to be too much work so I don't bother. These squares are perfect the way they are!
