Robin Oreo Truffle Recipe for Christmas

Molly brought home a great recipe for Robin Oreo Truffles last year. They were really simple to make, with just a few basic ingredients. These truffles make an easy homemade gift for friends or relatives. We thought the shape would be brilliant for making robins for Christmas. They turned out super cute and tasted amazing.

As we head towards the Christmas season and you are thinking about what to gift your friends and family, you might be thinking about adding a few tubs of Roses, Quality Street or Celebrations to your next shop. Chocolate is a generally very well received present, but if your loved one is a Coeliac some chocolate brands may not be suitable. Handily Becky at Great Without Gluten has looked into which chocolate tubs are safe for gluten-free diets and has written at article on it: Are Roses gluten free?
