Esprit Events is offering live chocolate truffle rolling stations as a dessert option. Guests pick either a citrus chocolate or lemon cognac truffle-on-a-stick and, with the help of pastry chef Christine Santos, dip the truffles in white or dark chocolate and roll it in their choice of premade toppings, which include pretzels, gingerbread, wasabi peas, coconut, cocoa, cinnamon, crushed potato chips, pistachios, crushed almonds, or graham crackers. The station can also feature prerolled truffles.
