A few years ago, I began giving these smooth, minty truffles in tins as Christmas gifts. Now I can't go a year without sharing them. They also make a perfect Valentine's treat for someone dear. -Kim Weiesnbach, Claremore, Oklahoma

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my truffles didn't turn out at all. They were too runny and didn't set properly.

These truffles were a bit too firm for my liking, but the flavor was spot-on.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but these truffles were surprisingly good. They were light and airy, with just the right amount of sweetness.
