Many thanks to Annie of Living Life Foodcariously for selecting hazelnut truffles for this week’s SMS (find the recipe here if you haven’t yet picked up the book); I spent the morning watching Shane compete in a triathlon so I was grateful for the quick, easy recipe, (I scaled way back to yield only 4 truffles, subbed almonds for hazelnuts and almond extract for the hazelnut liqueur) which did not disappoint – the results were very rich but seriously tasty!
(Thanks to Shane’s dad for the triathlon shot!)

Almonds and almond extract sound great together in this truffle!
These look great, and four is the perfect number to indulge the sweet tooth without going totally nuts (and the almond sounds like a smart substitution!)
So you did end up making the truffles after all! They look delicious! How could you only make four! What willpower.
These are gorgeous! 🙂
oh man those look good. congrats to shane on the triathalon too.
I bet you will make more then four the next time as they look amazing.

Nice truffles, great minds think alike =)
Wow!! Those look fantastic.
These look so fancy and like something you would find in a high end food counter! I like how you scaled that down to four! Wow.
Wow, I seriously admire your restraint. I don’t think I could convince myself to make only four of any kind of truffle. =)
Yum, yum, yum! They look just adorable and I’m sure extremely tasty.
Four is a good number to ensure you won’t eat too many (lol). Congrats to Shane.
They look and sound delicious! Kudos to you for only making four – I could never practice such truffle restraint!
You scaled down the recipe to yield FOUR?!?!? That’s incredible! Your truffles look great.
Your little batch of truffles look great! I made a quarter recipe and I feel like there are tons, my boyfriend promises to eat them all, though. Congrats to Shane!
These looks awesome! I love fudgy things, so if they are at all like a good bite of fudge–I will make these for sure.
They look mighty yummy! Congrats to Shane on the triathlon! What an accomplishment.
I’m glad you liked the truffles. They look great. Almond truffles are one of my favorites.
Congrats to Shane on completing the triathlon.
Thats amazing you were able to get 4!!! 🙂 talk about potion control 🙂
Hey Tracey, where was the tri? That’s so cool!! Was he pleased with times? AND your truffles look amazing! Nice to have a simple project this time.

Your truffles look gorgeous!
those look fantastic!
The truffles look beautiful and sound delicious.
i also used almonds in my truffles. i couldn’t find hazelnuts and even if i did, i don’t think i would have splurged on them. but they turned out great. and yours look divine!
Is he starting the run at 43m? Pretty fast! I”m really sad I missed the truffles this week, they look great
Hi Tracey!
Beautiful photograph of your truffles- I want to take a bite right off the screen! Please wish Shane my congratulations on the triathalon- that’s fantastic!
I’m super excited to be hosting SMS this week, and I really hope you will bake along with me- it just wouldn’t be the same without you! Hope you’re doing well, and I look forward to talking to you again soon. Have a great rest of your week 🙂

These look great! I love almonds 🙂
Great idea to make only 4 truffles. I should have thought of that! I didn’t get to make them (yet another insane week), but your truffles look so good I’ll have to do a recipe rewind sometime.
Yum – these look soooo good.
Only four, WOW great control!!! They look so good and I’m sure they tasted yummy. Will be making mine this week.
Your truffles look great. Like the subs. Congrats to Shane!
I have a WHOLE BAG of hazelnuts just waiting to be turned into something amazing… I think I have found it!
