 Making truffles is super easy and convenient. You can use any kind of nuts that you have on hands. There’s no need for any fancy nut if you can’t afford it. Nuts can be expensive, so I always try to buy in bulk or search for organic brands that offer good prices. I find that Costco, Aldi’s and Walmart have the best prices and brands.
