  • Add rum and nutmeg, stirring just until blended. Cover and freeze at least 2 hours.
  • Let truffle mixture stand at room temperature 1 to 2 minutes to soften, if necessary.

  1. I used the filling though soft and covered it with the chocolate and it made the Truffles perfect...hord shell with soft center. Everyone asked HOW I DID THAT? I just smiled. The soft constency is different than other truffles I've made, and I almost stopped, but it was work the effort!
     
  2. The filling never firmed up enough for me to work with them. Even after leaving them in the freezer overnight it was still too sticky and goopy to shape.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
