Scottish Chocolate Shortbread Truffles image

A melt in your mouth mixture of dark chocolate,Scottish shortbread,and whisky, this is the easiest truffle recipe I've ever made...the Drambuie is subtle so if you prefer a strong taste of it, double the measurement.Chocolate should be 55-70% cocoa solids. This recipe is from "Scot's Cooking" by Sue Lawrence.

I would have liked the truffles to be a bit more chocolatey, but they were still very good.

I'm not a fan of chocolate, but I still enjoyed these truffles. The shortbread filling is so good that it makes up for the chocolate.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts with chopped dried cranberries. They were still delicious!

These Scottish Chocolate Shortbread Truffles were a delight to make and even more delightful to eat! The combination of chocolate and shortbread is always a winner, and the addition of the cream cheese filling takes them to the next level.
