    Ok...this isn't working! I have chilled my hands and attempted to roll my balls in them, but it's too sticky and just covers my hands in truffle mixture. Any tips on how I can do this? :confused:


    Dust your hands in icing sugar.

    Dread to think the mess your making of the computer keys.:rotfl:

  • The freezer sounded like a good idea to me, as well. I always like balls straight out of the freezer......:D

    Oh yes, once they're dusted with icing sugar. :D

    Will they all be the same size?:p

    I'll give it 10 mins or so in the freezer and then have another go. I can't help thinking it shouldn't be this difficult? :confused:
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Maybe lightly oiling your hands would help with the stickiness :confused: Or you could invite one of the ladies on this thread over to help you with this part - I'm sure they'd oblige :p;)
    Never let your sucesses go to your head and never let your failures go to your heart.:beer:
  • Perhaps the 3rd spoonful of rum was a bad idea after all. But all is not lost - you can always add more of the other stuff....:D - how did you measure your half cup of crumbs (because cups can be deceptive and pretend to you that the halfway mark is in the wrong place, in my experience).

    I make coffee kisses and the mixture is stickey to roll into balls.
    Its best to dust your hands and roll as quick as you can.
    The less time the[STRIKE] balls [/STRIKE]mixtures in your hands the less stickey it gets. :o :rotfl:

    Eh? Are you following this thread JM? It's the white chocolate and cardomom truffles I'm making now. :rotfl:
