Ingredients 175g digestive biscuit crumbs (or other vegan biscuits)
50g chopped raisins
50g roasted hazelnuts, chopped
50g ground almonds
75g blackcurrant jam
1 orange, zest only, very finely chopped
dark rum or brandy
150g plain chocolate (vegan)
White marzipan, angelica and glace cherries
Instructions 1. Mix the biscuit crumbs, raisins, nuts, jam and orange zest together in a bowl. Add sufficient rum or brandy to make a fairly stiff mixture.
2. Form the mixture into walnut sized balls.
3. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Coat each truffle individually and rest on a foil covered board until set.

Decorate the top of each truffle by taking small pieces of white marzipan and rolling it out into an uneven shape, then press onto the top of each truffle to resemble icing. Add bits of glace cherry to resemble berries and angelica to represent holly.
