White Chocolate Matcha Truffles

These White Chocolate Matcha Truffles are the latest addition to my homemade holiday gift arsenal. If you also like the therapeutic nature/magic of melting and playing with chocolate, this recipe makes for a fun project.

The end result is two dozen little matcha truffles. Each truffle tastes like a scoop of green tea ice cream.

The matcha salt appeases the savory/sweet lover!

No oven required. Just a little magic of the microwave and some chill time in the fridge and you can make last-minute truffles the day before you need them!
