"(10 mins Prep BUT 6 hours chilling time) I made little goody hampers for my Nan and Great Aunt for Christmas last year. I had some leftover, so i took them to our family christmas lunch and everyone loved them!"

Oooh, LOVELY!!!. I needed a quick recipe for a Christmas present for a friend who is a big fan of white chocolate and macadamia nuts. This was great, so so easy to assemble and few ingredients! The only reason I give it 4 stars rather than 5 is that I used a fairly ordinary white chocolate. I would guess that using the finest white chocolate and cream would quickly catapault it to 5 stars. As it was it was a big hit and I had trouble trying to stop myself and family members devouring the truffles before they were gift wrapped! Definitely a keeper, thanks heaps!
