I have made these with my mom every Christmas for as long as I can remember. Although we use MINT extract, not vanilla. Also, to make it easier to roll into balls, I put shortening on my hands so the chocolate does not stick. These are sooo good and sooo addicting!! We also store them in the freezer when done and eat them right out of the freezer!! :)

These truffles are amazingly good considering the simplicity of the recipe. It was however a little challenging to initially break the chilled chocolate into chunks, but that was the result of chilling it for 12 hours instead of three.

These were great and very easy to make. My kids loved to roll them in sprinkles and other coatings.

Not quite what I was looking for, but still AMAZING. I mean, come on, how can you go wrong with chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk!?!? I don't think I have a melon baller, so I used the smallest cookie scoop thingie. Works great!!

I've made these before and I like them. But I'm still gonna call you out on the fact this is a recipe directly from the Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk Cookbook :)

I love truffles and these were nice but not as "truffle-like" as I would have liked them to be. I did not make a lot of these. I actually made these to use up some homemade condensed milk and like other reviewers added a touch of my favourite liqueur to the mixture. These rolled up really easily and I rolled them into chocolate sprinkles. I decided to have one after an hour or so of rolling them and I have to say they are good but not what I expected exactly. The middle came out more like a soft caramel which admittedly tasted very nice. Nice and smooth and not too sweet (but then the recipe I used for the homemade condensed milk isn't as sweet as the store-bought kind) These were good, but it won't be my first go to recipe when I want truffles.

So delicious, and took me about 5 minutes to make! (without the whole 3 hours in the fridge part) incredibly simple to make, and delicious! I wanted to eat it straight out of the pan!

These taste great! I followed the recipe exactly, but I did divide it up into smaller bowls as suggested by others.It was a bit difficult to roll them into the balls, and I think using a melon baller would probably be best for this. I used colored sugar sprinkles, which didn't really come out too great. However, the colored sprinkles worked out great and they tasted like the candy Nonpareils. I love those!

"Luscious"? If you're looking for a truffle that tastes as sumptuous as the ones you buy in a fancy confectioner's, you're going to be disappointed mightily. This tastes like, well...sweetened condensed milk combined with melted chocolate chips, mega watt, tastebud-numbing sweet. Not at all what I have come to expect a truffle to taste like. Truffles should be a celebration of perfect chocolate flavor, one that melts lovingly and lingers on the tongue. Sure, these are easy. But easy is only good if the results are something you're proud to serve. Sorry to have to say I found this recipe to be disappointing.

My 12 year old daughter and I made a batch of these and I brought them to the office Christmas party. Super easy and a huge hit. We used peppermint extract instead of vanilla. I'm going to make tons of these all Christmas.

this recipe was amazing! although i did make some changes...instead of using sweetened condensed milk, i used the regular unsweetened stuff...and may i recommend dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate, but thats just a personal preference....also, the vanilla really doesnt make much of a difference!

Easy recipe and tasty too! After I rolled them I dipped them in melted chocolate. Half in white chocolate and the other in dark. Then I sprinkled crushed oreo cookies over the top. They were beautiful and divine! They looked like I spent a fortune at the candy store.

The only problem with this recipe was the fact that i could not stop eating them. They were so addicting! i tried a variation with peppermint instead of the vanilla but they just weren't the same! stick to the original! i've also found you should not refrigerate it for too long before breaking them into balls as the dough gets very hard. If this happens however, putting it into the microwave for a few seconds worked well for me. Thanks for the recipe!

These truffles did not taste very luscious to me. They tasted more like a Tootsie Roll with little pebbles in it. These were not good at all!
