I had some trouble getting the truffles to set. I think I might have used too much cream.

These truffles are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using dark chocolate next time.

These truffles are dangerous! They're so addictive, I can't stop eating them. I've already made them twice in the past week.
