My sister-in-law, Jennifer, loves German chocolate. With her in mind, I experimented in the kitchen and came up with nutty truffles. They make a fun gift packed in a festive box or tin.

These truffles are a great way to use up leftover coconut and pecans. They're also a great make-ahead dessert. You can make them up to a week in advance and store them in the refrigerator.

I'm not a fan of dark chocolate, but I really enjoyed these truffles. The sweetness of the coconut and pecans balances out the bitterness of the chocolate perfectly.

These truffles are dangerous! They're so addictive, I can't stop eating them. I've already made them twice in the past week.
