I made this recipe exactly as requested. Once I was done and ate some of them the balls were slightly mushy. I made a batch again and this time around after making the balls I froze them overnight before dipping in chocolate. This perfected my recipe. The consistency is what cake balls should be - a little firmer - almost brownie like. I made chocolate almond (mix almond extract in chocolate icing) and I made chocolate penut butter (mix penut putter in icing) they are both wonderful. This recipe does take some time - but definitly well worth it. This one is definitly a keeper!

I made this and followed the recipe exactly. While the aroma was wonderful, the pears did not take on the flavor as I had hoped. The just tasted like soft, broiled, pears. I will not make this again.

Wonderful recipe! Made this exactly as specified. Came out perfect, and got rave reviews. There were no leftovers. I was requested to remake this dessert at our next gathering.
