OMG these truffles are so good!! I made as written but used a shallot rather than onion. They are creamy salty and have a nice little bite from the gorgonzola and shallots. Served this with diced apples and I could not stop eating it! Will be making these again! Going into my Best of Cookbook. Made for Photo Tag.
