Very good and super easy! I doubled the recipe, but ended up adding 5 1/2 tsp of rum because I read that a previous reader said you couldn't taste the rum. They were perfect! It made about 34 truffles. I rolled half in powdered sugar and the other half in coconut. They turned out great. Do note it's VERY messy! Let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 mins to 1 hour so make them manageable.

I love this recipe. for variation I sometimes use peppermint schnapps instead of rum, or irish cream.

I used this recipe as a base, and perhaps it flaws are my own doing. I used 6 squares of Baker's white chocolate (the box only comes with that many, I should've followed my instinct and bought chips to make up the difference so I think this was a big flaw), 10% coffee cream as my heavy cream had gone bad (ugh!), margarine instead of butter (really didn't want to defrost a whole block for that amount), 2 TBsps. of Limoncello, coconut-cream cheese-lemon-lavender cake crumbs instead of chocolate and rainbow sprinkles. I think using a lower amount of chocolate , the margarine and the increased liquor made it too sticky and not able to set enough to easily roll. I tossed it all back in a bowl and added cake crumbs until it began forming a 'dough' (maybe 1/2-3/4 cup more). They were easier to roll, so I quickly did so and coated the sprinkles. Put them on a baking sheet in the freezer and within half an hour were good to go. Tasty treat for Easter.

this recipe is very tasty, and basic enough that you can adjust based on what you like. i tempered chocolate and dipped them, creating a chocolate coating and covered some with toasted nuts, coconut, or sprinkles. the chocolate coating keeps them from being too soft, as others have complained about.

I made these for xmas treats and they were a huge hit. The only problem I have with this is you can't taste the rum at all so I will add a bit more the next time I make these.

5 stars once I figured out how to form them. The only way to roll these is to stick the "dough" in the fridge for about an hour... otherwise it's like a thick goopy batter and impossible to handle. Used rum extract instead of rum, which worked fine, and coated half of mine in coconut.

Very good! Thought it was never going to get hard enough to roll into balls, but chilled it for about 15 minutes and was just right. Used coffee flavored tequila.

Oh goodness gracious. How heavenly! I used butter cake crumbs instead of chocolate and I think that was better than chocolate cake would have been. This is chocolaty enough as it is! I would also add either dried coconut or nuts for a little crunch next time. BE SURE to use a high quality chocolate, though I don't believe that bittersweet chocolate is necessary.
