I love this recipe for any occassion. My only complaint would be in the coating process, but that is not a fault in the recipe at all. I agree with others, that waiting a little longer on the cooling/firming step is beneficial in the over-all process.

I love these truffles but added 6 oz. of chocolate to the recipe to make it perfect. I use 4 oz. of milk chocolate and 12 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate instead of the 10 oz. that the recipe calls for and found that the truffles come out smooth and creamy. I also melt all of the ingredients in a double boiler and let the mixture sit on the counter for about 4-6 hours before I scoop them. The mixture is soft enough to scoop, but also firm enough to scoop!!!

Although the filling was tasty (I added amaretto it never firmed up enough to roll into balls and dip. I even put it in the freezer for several hours. It was sticky and gooey. Had to throw it out. If I had had the time it would have made a great filling for individual chocolate cups or maybe mini cookie cups. Will stick to Ghiradelli's chocolate truffle recipe. It's truly decadent.

Made these vegan, swapped the cream for soy milk and the butter for margarine, also changed the booze to espresso.
The only problem is keeping people off them before you finish.

I prepared these for my sweety this V-day....they turned out great. I increased the chocolate for the middle by an ounce and used peppermint schnapps.The peppermint flavor wasn't very strong. I also put the mixture in the fridge overnight then sit it out and let it warm up to the consistency I wanted before forming into balls. the rubber glove's seem to work well when forming the balls. they are a hit with my sweety and all the ladies at work.

I've been making this recipe for years with raves from all my chocoholic co-workers and family. It take a few hours to complete, but as Alton has stated "your patience will be rewarded". I double the liquor portion and compared to what you will spend at Godiva for 36 liquour truffles you spend about 1/3 the price! Better yet they're fresh and you add whatever you like. Definitely use the powder-free latex gloves for rolling the truffles smooth and use a dipper that drains excess chocolate from the bottom when coating. Also, I microwave the chocolate for the outside shell and start dipping when the temp is around 90 degrees. Well worth the effort and an easy way to make friends fast!

sweet easy recipe. i would refrigerate truffles atleast a half hour longer before scooping and balling them...the firmer the chocolate is the prettier the balls form :
