These Penuche Truffles are amazingly decadent little bites of love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They would be marvelous for parties or gifts or that little stash of goodies we hide in the back of the veggie bin in the fridge hoping that no one finds them so we don't have to share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uh, not that I would<\/strong> hide anything there, but you know some people might.<\/p>\n\n\n

At first glance these seem like just the same old same old cake balls that everyone makes: cake, frosting and chocolate candy melts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, I made them with my favorite chocolate cake recipe<\/a> and mixed it with an easy to make penuche (brown sugar) frosting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh my! so delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you live in Sees Candy territory you probably know what their Bourdeaux candies taste like: the ones with the brown sugar \/ caramel like center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are a make-at-home version, no candy thermometer needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penuche Truffles Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ingredients are pretty basic kitchen ingredients. I started with a boxed cake mix, but if you want to make it from scratch this is my favorite chocolate cake recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
