These tasted great! But I had some trouble making them as the recipe describes. I let the chocolate mix set in the refrigerator and then even the freezer to harden cause it was still too soft to roll into balls. They melted right away as I tried to form them and I couldn't form them into round balls. It was a bit of a disaster. I ended up using a mold with melted chocolate on the outside and used the chocolate mixture in the recipe as the centers. They did end up turning out great, but I was not able to roll them and dip them like I wanted and couldn't dip them into the chocolate powder since they had to set in the mold. Did I miss something???

Wow, these are awesome! I gave these to my co-workers for valentine's day and they loved them. However, I did use Ghirardelli milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate because that's all I had in the pantry, but they were to die for, very smooth. I too used powder sugar, crushed pecans and cocoa powder to roll them in.

Instead of simply using cocoa powder to decorate the truffles, I wanted a variety. (And I agree that just cocoa can be a bit bitter I used shredded toasted coconut, crushed peppermint candies, toasted hazelnuts and a Mexican chocolate combination of cinnamon, cayenne, cocoa, and a bit of orange rind (the orange rind was cooked into the truffle- a suggestion that could be used with other flavor combinations as well. I included the orange rind with the milk while it was simmering and strained it out before including the chocolate to maintain the silky texture

I also disagree with the assertion to use a "shallow bowl" I found smaller, deeper and extremely round bowls to be easier, then as I got to the end of the chocolate I was able to make use out of more the genache. Just a suggestion.

I used one package bittersweet and one milk chocolate. They were very good; next time I will try less milk chocolate, more bittersweet, or semi sweet!

These truffles were the best ones I've ever made... possibly the best I've ever tasted, too! Best of all, I made them with my five-year-old son and he had a blast. What more can I say? Easy and delicious.

These were fabulous. I used dark chocolate instead and they were wonderfully dark and creamy. I would love to try this recipe with milk chocolate also.
