I was really looking forward to adding these to my other Christmas treats this year, but was very disappointed when they wouldn't set. I used expensive white chocolate and followed the recipe exactly. I even left them overnight, just to see if it needed more time, to no avail. Sadly, the entire batch went down the disposal. Wasted time and $$ on this one!

This recipe is too easy!!! My friend told me the secret w/ white chocolate is to add the flavorings to the half n half & then add your chocolate. That way it will not break down on you. I substituted Chambord liquor & rolled them in coconut & they were a huge hit. Thank you Ina!!!

Truffles are very simple candies to make at home, so when i saw Ina make these on TV I thought they looked wonderful. wow, am I ever disappointed! I made the chocolate mixture exactly as specified, and I even double checked the recipe as I made them. I use a very expensive white chocolate block, Bailey's, and good vanilla- The mixture was so thin it wouldn't freeze hard enough for me to roll into balls. I froze them for 4 hours and then tried to roll them but they immediately melted on the pan before I could get them back in the fridge. They literally melted faster than i ice cream. Something must be off with the ratios of liquid to solids in this recipe because I measured and weighed very carefully! what an expensive mistake. I usually really enjoy Ina's dishes, but this one's a Loser.

The taste of this recipe is incredible, but I cannot get these things to set at all. They turn into a gooey gel. I used white chocolate, from chips to block with cocoa butter and no difference. I tried refrigerating and freezing the mixture and still nothing. The one thing is that only heavy WHIPPING cream is available in our area, not just heavy cream, so this is what I used. Could this be the problem?

For those having trouble getting their 'white chocolate' to set....be sure you are using a product that contains cocoa butter. Some white chips don't have any cocoa butter at all.

The flavor of the mixture was great, but I was unable to get it to set. I also used Ghiradelli white chocolate. I tried again using Lindt and it was even worse. I am sure it has to do with the type of white chocolate. If you had success, what chocolate did you use?

I loved Ina's recipe last year for Hazelnut truffles which were so easy and always came out wonderfully, so I thought this looked great too.

However, when I tried this with Ghiradelli white chocolate (baking isle these did not ever set-up into a rollable ball - more of a gooey texture.
I am sure the problem must be the white chocolate I used but I am not aware of another white chocolate easy to find (for the hazelnut truffles I have had success with anything from Hershey to Scharfenberger?

Please make a recommendation for a white chocolate and where to find it... the taste was great but the texture was not!
