Pink Champagne Truffles
This is SO GOOD!!!! Super easy to make. I’m not a baker by any means, but this was fool proof. I cut up the m&m’s before topping. I had to stop myself from licking all the spatulas and eating all the small bits after breaking the sheet up. Very very delicious and will definitely be making again.
