- A Cook from Minnesota on 02/13/01These were wonderful! I made 4 batches of them at Christmas and by New Years they were gone! Instead of the espresso and Sambuca I used 3 tbsp of grand marinier, amaretto, etc. per batch.
- A Cook from South Carolina on 02/11/01I made these little goodies for my wine club members along with several other items. They were a huge hit! I've had special requests to make them as Valentine's gifts, too. If you've never had fresh chocolate truffles, you owe it to yourself to try these. Just wait till the chocolate is very hard and dust your palms with cocoa pwdr to make rolling them easier. I'll be making these again for a catering this week!
- Valerie ( [email protected] ) from Edmonton, AB, Canada on 12/08/00 The recipe is so simple and the result so amazing - one batch is not sufficient! The flavour is truly "gourmet". The texture is exactly what you would want. I did dip these in dark chocolate and top each with a coffee bean. I called them my "Special Coffee" truffles and they were the first off the plate! When the mix is warm, the flavours "come out" as the mix cools. Be patient.
- I agree, these are wonderful!!! If you run into problems shaping the truffles because the chocolate is too hard, let the mix come down to room temperature a little. Also, you can whip up the chocolate in a KitchenAid mixer to make it soft and fluffy after it has been refrigerated. I roll the truffles on chocolate sprinkles. Whatever you do, I do not think you can go wrong with this recipe.
