As the previous reviewer stated, these don't set up well at all, they do taste pretty good, though the recipe would probably work better using 8 - 10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate rather than the cocoa. Instead of wasting the whole batch, I used a cup of it in place of peanut butter in Cornflake candy, I'll figue out a way to firm up the rest enough so I can roll and dip them in chocolate bark coating. Wish I could give it more stars, I was really looking forward to not-too-sweet cranberry chocolate truffles.

These tasted great - not too sweet & just a mild fruity taste. I used a food mill so I just got the "good stuff" from the cranberries. They came out really soft & didn't hold their shape - probably because I messed with the recipe. Good taste though.
