Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection

ah, Valentines Day.

the holiday so many like to dislike.

Single or attached, I have always liked Valentines Day. Single and spending it with friends, or in a relationship and celebrating.

Jason and I typically do not celebrate with a night out, and these days we may not always do gifts.

Well, since getting married, we actually do the traditional anniversary gifts on this day. Because Valentines Day is the day we secretly got married in 2014. Yep, we were married with just a few loved ones as witnesses, with …

Raspberry Dusted Chocolate Fudge Brownie Truffles – rich and chewy chocolate brownie filled truffles get a bright tart topping of raspberry dust!

 

Raspberry Chocolate Brownie Truffles on a plate

Every time I make a new truffle, I feel like I want to open a chocolate shop.

Truffles are so fun for me. I love creating fun flavors, the whole process is somehow calming, and, well, there is the chocolate. Chocolate is extremely versatile for flavor pairing, easy (for me) to work with, and nearly everyone loves it.

These particular truffles? So fudgy good. The filling is divine even on its own – super chocolatey rich, like a chewy brownie. Dip them into melty chocolate and sprinkle with a vibrant tart raspberry dust and you have an impressive dessert.

I adapted these Raspberry Dusted Chocolate Fudge Brownie Truffles from an old raw brownie recipe I made years ago. I wasn’t necessarily looking for raw, just no bake. But I was looking for a rich, fudgy, brownie consistency. I nailed it.

Tuck a few of these fudgy truffles into a fun gift box – instant Valentines gift for anyone!
