    Hi there! I just discovered your blog and I’m so excited to try out a bunch of new recipes!
    Just wondering what type of beer you or other have used? I was thinking of using malt beer.
    Thank you! :)

      Hi Kara, I can’t remember exactly which type of beer I used for these truffles, but darker beers would work best as the flavour works really well with chocolate. Hope that helps and enjoy :)
