I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my truffles turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chocolate.

I'm not a huge fan of dark chocolate, but these truffles were still really good. The filling is so creamy and flavorful that it makes up for the bitterness of the chocolate.

These truffles were delicious! I made them for a bake sale and they sold out in minutes.

I had some trouble getting the chocolate coating to set properly. I ended up having to refrigerate the truffles for longer than the recipe called for.

These truffles were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I will probably cut back on the sugar next time I make them.
