\"December<\/a>Take Holiday Entertaining to a Delicious new Level<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s something about the holiday season that I just can\u2019t get enough of. Sure last minute holiday shopping and menu preparing can be stressful, but sitting down with loved ones for a savoury holiday feast makes it more than worth it.<\/p>\n

I have a big family, so when it comes to holiday meals it can be tough deciding what to make. Aside from my tried and true holiday recipe favourites, I decided to get a little adventurous this year and experiment with a new dessert. And I\u2019m so glad I did. This recipe for Mascarpone Truffles<\/strong><\/a> is a delightful new take on a classic.<\/p>\n

With creamy Canadian Mascarpone I can guarantee it will become a staple at all your holiday parties. As an added bonus they are super easy to make, so you can spend more time wrapping presents and spreading your holiday cheer!<\/p>\n

Speaking of holiday cheer, there\u2019s nothing cheerier than a good Chardonnay. I\u2019ll serve my truffles with a Michel Picard Bourgogne Chardonnay<\/strong><\/a>. Affordable and versatile, this full-bodied wine has rich hazelnut, green apple, and peach notes. Simply delicious.<\/p>\n

And if you want something a little fruitier, you can also try Oyster Bay Chardonnay. With a light note of tropical fruit, this crowd-pleasing Chardonnay will taste simply amazing with the creamy Mascarpone truffles. Happy holiday entertaining!
