MARS® BAR & PANKO TRUFFLES

0 vote

I figured that adding Mars® bars to my truffle recipe would earn me some serious brownie points with my boyfriend.

I even surprised myself with the idea of adding panko bread crumbs to firm up the ganache and give it a bit of crunch, which I love. 🙂

If you’re impatient like me and refrigerating time seems interminable, pour the ganache into a bigger dish so it’s less thick and will cool faster.

If you find you’re having difficulty making the ganache into balls because it’s too runny, just pop it in the freezer for a few minutes. That should do the trick.
