Generic Rosie Discovers Disclosure Templeton Rye Whiskey I was asked a while ago if I might be interested in creating a chocolate truffle recipe using Templeton Rye Whiskey and two mystery Frontier spices.  While I was a little apprehensive about the mystery ingredients, I was still game to give it a try as everything goes with chocolate!  My mystery ingredients weren’t too crazy: ginger and vanilla.  This is actually a great combination as vanilla will add sweetness and ginger will add spice.  Plus that ginger is great for fighting off winter germs add in Templeton Rye Whiskey and these #BoozyTruffles are great for the sick person in your life.  If you’re willing to share all that goodness…of course they’re also preventative so you should probably just eat all of them by yourself.

Templeton Rye Whiskey Truffles I’m all for one pot recipes, especially when it comes to making candy.  I try to keep it simple.  For this recipe, you’ll make a caramel then dump in all your truffle ingredients, melt them together and chill.  Sometimes a truffle is dipped in molten chocolate but I wanted an easier finish by rolling them in cocoa powder and espresso.   The freshly ground espresso is for flavor so if you’re not a coffee lover then you can opt out and go for a pure chocolate finish.
