Truffles...

Tis’ the season to be giving, which is what the Year 9 and 10 Food Tech boys were doing. Each pair made a batch of chocolate and orange truffles, which were then carefully and packaged and labelled for distribution so Christmas cheer can be shared to others in our community. Random tastings by the boys ensured quality was at its highest!

If you’d like to make some for your whanau/family/friends the recipe is below 😊
