Truffles are in most cases, a no-bake sweet confection that is enjoyed by many at Christmastime. Even though they are good anytime, it seems that they are prepared in many homes around the holidays. They are easy to prepare and very little skill is needed to make a beautiful treat!
ANOTHER CHRISTMAS SERIES
Just a short while ago, I published a truffle series to the blog. The series was called Lord Byron’s 12 Truffles of Christmas. It was a series that was posted over 12 consecutive days. Just like I have done in the past with other Christmas recipe series, I am putting together one post with all of the recipes from the series on one page.
I’m not sure why I do these things to myself or how I get it into my head that a consecutive series is a good idea. As much as I do love it when I think of it, the keeping up with the social media aspect of a series like that is quite overwhelming.
WHAT ARE TRUFFLES?
Without boring you to tears, it’s rather really simple. Even though some will argue that a truffle must consist of two things – chocolate and cream – I disagree. I think a truffle can be anything you like as long as it is rolled into a ball and either dipped in melted chocolate or rolled into something like coconut, graham crumbs or even cocoa.
The great thing about truffles is that they are no-bake. That means that anyone can make them! They’re great for those younger home-cooks who are just learning their way around a kitchen. They can make delicious treats without having to turn on the oven. Truffles are certainly a well-loved treat, so in most cases, they are well received too!
I’m very proud of this 12 Christmas Truffle series, so I’m placing all of them together in this one post. This way, it will be easier for you to maneuver your way through the series. Also, you can see all of the recipes here on one page and better see which one(s) jump out at you. Let’s get started!
MORE CHRISTMAS CONFECTIONS!
Last year, I published a series called Lord Byron’s 12 Biscotti of Christmas. The year before that, I published a series called Lord Byron’s 12 Bundt Cakes of Christmas. You can click on the image below and see the entire series on one page! Don’t worry, you won’t lose this page. It will open up a new page so that you can easily get back to these truffles!
HOW TO SEE ALL OF THE 12 CHRISTMAS BISCOTTI
To see any of the 12 Christmas Truffle recipes, just click on the image of that particular truffle. Don’t worry, you won’t lose your spot. When you click, it will open a new window and your spot on this page will be right where you left off, so it’s easy to get back!
I hope you’ve enjoyed revisiting Lord Byron’s 12 Christmas Truffles! And, I do hope that you take a moment to check out both of Lord Byron’s 24 Cookies of Christmas series and the Bundt Cake series too! Also…
MORE CHRISTMAS RECIPES!
Did you know that I’ve been posting a 24 Cookies of Christmas series for a few years now? There are over 100 Christmas cookie recipes that you can find right here at Lord Byron’s Kitchen! To make it easier to find, I have created a page for each series. Just click on the image below and you’ll find the full series for that volume all one page!
Before long, Christmas will be here and I totally plan to take a day or two and do nothing but relax. I have baked so much over the past couple of months! I think a good break is long overdue. I’ll be back on January 1st with my Top 10 Recipes of 2021 post and lots of new, tasty recipes! And of course, sometime before the new year, I’ll publish my Annual Christmas Post as well. Every year, I document and photograph our annual Christmases. Take a look if you have time to waste!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, MY MOST LOYAL AND BELOVED DEAR READER!
If I don’t get the opportunity to do so later, I would like to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones the most wonderfully happy and joyful Christmas, and a most prosperous New Year! I hope that 2022 is your best year yet! XOXO

Dear Byron
Came across your page today as I sit isolated in my room due to covid. Read all your posts on your past Christmas celebrations and have to say i love them.
Your apartment was so beautifully decorated every year but I am in love with your house.
I am a Christmas nut as well and am so jealous of all your gorgeous decorations. In South Africa everything Christmas related is so expensive and we do not have anything closely related in terms of quantity.
Thank you for keeping me occupied for a few hours during isolation and I can’t wait to get into the kitchen to try some of your cookie recipes (which we call biscuits here).
Have an amazing Christmas and can’t wait to see your 2021 post.

Lord Byron,
I love love love your website. Being a Newbie (from New Brunswick) I was first attracted to your reference of Newfoundland recipes. Now I am incorporating a few of your cookie recipes in my Christmas baking this year. I published a Breakfast Cookbook when my B & B closed during Covid last year so I will definitely check our breakfast recipes in your site too.
Thanks for sharing!
Merry Christmas
Diane
