I've been meaning to post this blog with the recipes for the above since I made them 12/21/14 for the Winter Solstice Yin/Yang Yoga & Crystal Bowls Experience at Yoga + Bergamot with Jack Greene. Everyone gobbled the truffles and blissfully drank up all the chai post-yoga! Warming, nourishing and fulfilling -- the perfect healthy, sweet & spicy treat for any occasion.... enjoy! With love, Kenna
