Questions & Replies

  1. Must it be only chocolate frosting? I can only stand so much chocolate at a time (i.e., I never eat brownies with chocolate chips and I remove any frosting. I was thinking maybe cream cheese frorting instead. Has anyone tried other frostings in this recipe?

  1. I made half with Triple Sec and half with Bailey's... these are great! I had a little trouble with them melting from the heat of my hands when I rolled them into balls, so after I rolled them, I put them back in the fridge for a while, then brought them out, gave them a quick roll with my hands again to smooth them out and then rolled them in powdered sugar or candy sprinkles. - UPDATE - Made this for my cookie tray and gifts again this year... used chocolate fudge frosting and vanilla cream liqueur. The fudge taste over-powered the liqueur, so I'll stick to regular chocolate frosting next time. I rolled them in cookies and cream sprinkles and kind of mushed the sprinkles right in so they became one with the ball. This worked great because I could put them in with the other cookies in tins and they didn't stick to anything.
     
  2. VERY simple to make and very inexpensive, too. I used Irish Creame Liqueur and toasted some coconut for the topping and it was perfect. I also used a 2 tsp. melonballer that I keep handy for scooping and it made the perfect sized truffles. A big hit!
     
  3. Very easy! I used some strawberry jam instead of the liqueur, but it really didn't even need it! I balled them, cooled them, the re-rolled them before dipping in a chocolate bath. They tasted fudgey, so if you like fudgey they are great!! Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. Great recipe. I used strawberry frosting and omitted the orange liqueur and they tasted great. Very easy and made great gifts.
     
  5. Very good! This is more like the creamy inside of a truffle... you could always make smaller balls and dip those in semi-sweet chocolate. I tried the cocoa powder coating and did not like that.. it flies off when you bite into it. I used a homemade chocolate frosting and triple sec. Thanks for the recipe, it was very easy.
