    These truffles are SO pretty & colorful! I can already tell that they would taste good from looking at your photos, but kudos for actually getting them to look really photogenic (whenever I attempt them, they look so ugly haha)! You are a Pro!

    Thanks for linking up at the Bewitchin Projects party this week! I can’t wait to see what you link up again next week over at OurMiniFamily.com!

    My head is spinning with possibilities! How about red, white, and blue for the 4th, green and red for Christmas, etc. Use candy pearls for bridal events. Color the frosting black and use orange and yellow sprinkles for Halloween. The possibilities are endless! Thanks for the idea!
