The truffles were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less pretzels next time.

The truffles were good, but I thought they were a bit too rich. I would have preferred a lighter chocolate.

The truffles were delicious, but I found them to be a bit too sweet. Next time, I'll use semisweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
