The tuffles taste grate! The problem is that they are never hard enough, even straight from the freezer, when I peeled them from the parchment paper. About 2 thirds of them I coated in melted chocolate like in your link to the Robert Linxe’s truffles, or your other truffles from this site. They set beautifully and made a grate gifts. But coating them at 1 AM I said enough at some point, and about 1/3 of them just took a bath in the cocoa powder and went to the fridge. They hold their shape, but just to the point that you try to pick one up. Any ideas (except for going back to coating them in chocolate over the cocoa)? Hi Deb and Happy New Year.

Coffee, spices,orange peel, ginger etc and it would infuse the cream and you could add that to your truffles how delicious :) i was just thinking you could put anything in the cream.

I guess after becoming a good-chocolate addict, I can't go back. I do spend, I think it's $1-$1.5 per truflle at Frans' chocloate in Seattle. Lately I discovered Theo chocolate truffles which are even better (and more expensive). So I'm in real real trouble. But am keeping this addiction under control and only buying a few truffles every other month or so, and eating them SLOWLY. I tried the Barefoot Contessa recipe, thought they were OK.

Next time I would do the cocoa instead of chopped nuts though. They look much prettier. As for the melting in the hands, I experienced that too but assumed it was all part of making truffles. They turned out fine after I rechilled them. I used Sharffen Berger chocolate for these and they were incredible. Next time I would do the cocoa instead of chopped nuts though.

Before I discovered her basic truffles, I'd been afraid to make them. Oh, so easy! I tried them with kids in my cooking class, and they were absolutely delicious. Ina’s truffle recipes are the best.
