      NOTES + TIPS!

      • You NEED to use a high-quality white chocolate for this recipe.
      • Your hands will need to have powdered sugar on your hands to roll the truffles.
      • With this recipe, the freezer is your friend! If the filling is ever too soft to work with, always put it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
      • If your melted (not tempered) chocolate is cooling too much and becoming too thick, you can reheat it in the microwave for 15-30 seconds.
      • Be sure that your lavender is culinary grade.
