Melissa Gilbert’s Favorite Valentine’s Day Treat
“Let me tell you something about these truffles. You know, when you hear ‘truffle,’ you think chocolate, right? There’s chocolate in there, but these are really nice and fruity and springy and refreshing — and yet still kind of gooey and decadent. It’s really kind of like the best of all possible worlds,” Gilbert explained in the video, which was filmed in 2025 and reshared as a “throwback Thursday” post just in time for Valentine’s Day.
In the caption of the video, Modern Prairie provided the recipe for the sweet treat, first describing them, writing, “They’re rich. They’re beautiful. They feel fancy. And here’s the best part, they are so easy to make. There’s something special about packaging up a little box of homemade sweetness and gifting it to the wonderful women who surround you – daughters, sisters, dear friends. A small bite that says, l’m so grateful for you.”
