I have completed a few truffles. I made just enough to take a picture, but as you can see they were melting and melting bad! I don't understand why they melted so badly. It wasn't hot in the kitchen.
I kept the chocolate mixture in the freezer for half an hour to forty five minutes. I took it out and started molding right away. Giada's recipe page recommends using a teaspoon measurement to scoop the chocolate out of the bowl, but I tried and decided it doesn't work very well. I decided on just a regular small spoon from the silverware drawer. This worked great. Granted, they weren't all the same size, but I don't mind. It's all about the taste at this point and these definitely don't skimp on taste. They are very rich.
I encourage you to try to make your own truffles. You can mix up the different chocolates and different coatings, it depends on what you like. Experiment before you pack for your holiday party though! They are delicious, but they take a few tries to get right. Good luck and enjoy!
