    How to make the milk chocolate truffles:

    Tips for the best chocolate truffles:

    • Use the semi sweet baking bars for the best flavor, however chocolate chips will work if thatโ€™s all you have
    • Rolling the truffles into perfect balls can get messy fast. I like to scoop out the truffles but only slightly form them into balls, place them onto a parchment lined baking sheet then stick them into the refrigerator to reharden. Then once theyโ€™ve set up again, I do a final roll for a perfect sphere.
    • Wipe your hands in between rolling every 2-3 truffles. This will help keep the mess down and they will roll into spheres easier.
    • Refrigerate leftover truffles for up to a week.
    • These taste best when at room temperature- so take them out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before serving.
    • Use different colored sprinkles for different holidays! Or you can dust in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or leave them plain- every way is delicious!
    • I recommend using nonpareils or sanding sugar to give these truffles a holiday spin. Smaller sprinkles tend to stick better.

    One of my favorite ways to make these is rolled in silver and gold sprinkles for New Yearโ€™s! So fun and so easy!

    Notes

    Tips and Tricks
    • *If you pour the truffle mixture into a large shallow dish is will cool faster but it really isnโ€™t a big deal.
    • * The trick to getting perfect round truffles is to roll them when they are cold- which means keep the mixture cold.
    • I also like to wash or wipe my hands off between every 2 or 3 truffles that I roll- it seems to help with rolling.
