Notes
This recipe is ideal to cook with kids. Children are more likely to try new flavor and like them when they have helped to make the recipes.
Decorate the serving dish to appeal young minds. It would be easy to turn it into a flower by placing the carrot truffles in the middle and petals made of paper around.
