Chocolate Truffles recipe?

Frags

Am planning on making lots of truffles for Xmas this year as i wrap them in celeophane and give them to people as presents. I was wondering if you can freeze them because once they are made they dont last very long but would like to get them made in advance?

Yes, they freeze really well, and will keep until Christmas..........unless like me, you sneak them out for yourself!

Thanks Penny!

Can i roll them in coco powder before i freeze them or do i need to do that after?

I've frozen my chocolate coated, cocoa dusted truffles - they should be fine as long as you defrost them at room temperature overnight (to avoid bloom etc).

I'm planning to do the same, I've found a site that sells nice boxes etc that are pretty reasonable.
I plan to do mine this weekend then freeze but I think I'd better put a little note in saying don't re-freeze and eat quickly.........they wouldn't nees to tell me to do that!!!!

Hi Rockie,

Hi All, I don't usually post on here but I was wondering...
Would any of you be kind enough to share your recipe for truffles with me or point me in the direction of where I could find a nice one. I normally make boxes & buy sweets or fudge for christmas gifts but I'm thinking making truffles would be more MSE of me seeing as this year I'm a little bit skint!!

I am going to try the ginger and almond flake ones this year. I am also going to buy the crystalised fruits you can get (I am sure they have a proper name) and dip them half wat in chocolate, that way i can make up a nice selection for people. I also considered coating dates in chocolate?? Anyone else got any good homemade sweet/ chocolate ideas???

I found a website which has a recipe for vegan truffles. They sound delicious. I haven't got round to making any yet, but I will do (eventually!)
