Very good and easy to make. I made these for a Valentines Day gift for my husband and used 4 oz of German Chocolate and 4 oz of chopped Andes baking chips in place of the semisweet chocolate. I rolled them in chopped pecans and toffee bits.

Decadent!!! So so good! Very easy to make...although I dont think I chopped the chocolate fine enough and I had some small pieces that didnt melt right away, had to throw in the microwave for thirty seconds. Next time I will probably use a cheese shredder to make sure the chocolate melts all together. I used Frangelico instead of Grand Marnier, and rolled the Truffles in a mixture of conf sugar, cocoa, cinnamon and pecans...they were sooo soooo good!! Thanks Ina!

I love these! I added broken vanilla wafers for texture, and rolled them in finely chopped pecans - delicious! Thanks, Ina!

This was my first time making truffles. I like making homade sweets for my son's teacher for Valentine's day, and after watching Ina make these I made sure I saved the recipe. I had read some of the other reviews and I to had an issue with it not setting up very well only in the middle of the bowl, however I thought of 2 things. 1. My kitchen was very warm from baking cookies. 2. The bowl I used was deep. So next time I will make them in the AM before any baking and I will put the mixture in a 9X13 dish to help it set up better. I will say using good chocolate is a must. I used Ghiradelli Bittersweet Chips (yes chips and Bakers brand Semi Sweet. We do not have heavy cream where I live so, or least I cannot find it, I did have to settle for the Ultra-Pasterized Heavy Whipping Cream. Even with those substitutions it worked out great! They tasted fabulous! I also rolled mine in cinnamon which was very tatsty! Ina thank you!

Have just delved into truffle making and I am trying various recipes. This one is a keeper but it is so important to follow the recipe to the letter. However, there is one caveat. Truffles must be kept in the refrigerator for at least an hour before they are scooped into little balls. Place them back in fridge as Ina prescribes and then gently and quickly roll them. I blanched and finely chopped hazelnuts to create a larger assortment. The Grand Marnier is a must. I've done with and without and with is just so much richer in taste. Take it slowly and the pay off is well worth it!

This recipe was just fantastic!! it was so delicious and easy to make. for all those people who complained about it i dont know what you guys are talking about. Maybe you guys are mentally challenged or something but this recipe was flawless. Okay refrigerate it a little longer so it deosnt melt in your hand! it is as simple as that.

what i did was i split the batter in half and made chocolate truffles and peppermint truffles. they were both so yummy!

They were a pain to shape and not sweet enough. I covered half of them in milk chocolate to make them sweeter and everyone loved those but hardly anyone ate the others and I threw them away.

I trust Ina for good, easy, reliable recipes but this one is a dud. I followed the recipe exactly and could not get the chocolate mounds to set in the fridge. I had to put the trays in the freezer for 25 mins. before I could shape the mounds into balls. Even then they make a mess as they start to melt in your hands as you are rolling them. I wanted to give them as holiday gifts in round tins but they need full time refrigeration or else will melt. I won't try these again as they are a mess to handle and too much work.

I think Ina Garten is an extremely talented cook and I trust most any recipe that she suggests. I made these, after attempting Alton Brown's pretentious recipe, and found these to be a breath of fresh air to make!!!! The process went very well and the result was wonderful! I used orange extract instead of liquor (I am not a drinker and, besides, I love the complimentary juxtaposition of orange and chocolate!
