Kid-Friendly Tips

• Kids can roll truffles and coat them in nuts
• Use a small cookie scoop for even-sized truffles
• Adults should handle melting chocolate
• Try rolling some in cocoa powder or sprinkles instead

Variation Ideas

• Use shredded coconut instead of nuts
• Add a drop of peppermint or orange extract
• Drizzle with melted white chocolate

Notes

If the mixture becomes too soft while rolling, return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes. Keep truffles chilled until serving.
