4. Cover with saran wrap and place in the freezer for 2-3 hours.
Storage – I suggest keeping these in an air-tight container in your freezer – they do get soft at room temperature.
You could add a couple drops of mint, orange, vanilla extract or any other of your favorite extracts for a wonderful twist on these chocolates.
Enjoy these guilt-free chocolates throughout the year!
