Guinness Truffles | Decadent Chocolate
These luxurious Guinness truffles are incredibly fudgy and delightfully satisfying. Each one is so rich and flavorful that while you may be tempted to have another, just one will thoroughly satisfy your sweet tooth!
My love for chocolate is well-known in my family. I love it all, but dark chocolate is my absolute favorite. This recipe is right up my alley as it has my favorite chocolate and is soft, creamy, and delicious.
The plight of a food blogger
Sometimes writing this blog requires a lot from me. I mean, how would you like it if you had to take a bite out of most things you cook before you can photograph it?
Or sip a cocktail at 11:00 a.m. because you have to check quality control?
I accept my plight because I’m all about taking a taste of something to make sure it’s tasty before I add it to the website.
Full disclosure: this is not my recipe. When Christopher and I went on our Ireland trip, we toured the Guinness storehouse , where they gave out free recipe cards. I grabbed them all in my hot little hands because I’m all for free, and, oh yeah, the recipes looked awesome.
This truffle recipe was on one of the cards. I also took a recipe card for a delish looking Guinness chocolate mousse.

Helpful tips
- I’ve been making these truffles for a few years now, but I have never been able to roll them in balls like the recipe says. Instead, I always fill little muffin cups with the truffle batter.
- Besides coconut, you can roll your truffles in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or even powdered sugar for different textures and flavors.
- Store your Guinness chocolate truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen for longer storage. Just be sure to let them thaw in the fridge before serving.

Lainey, I love to make chocolate candies. I am not really a lover of coconut so I think I will try a light dusting of powdered sugar on a few. I’ll let you know how that works. ????

Love the dense fudginess of these candies! Can I call them candies? They taste like candy…
