Very easy after I warmed them up from chilling in the refrigerator. I think next time I might not chill them but let them set for a little while at room temperature and then go ahead and roll them into balls . I first made all the balls and had to reroll to warm t<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"12\/18\/2011 14:49","GUID":"36b83bcfbd0f4fd8b01c3908f9bedf59","MemberId":1858674,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Kris Countryman","SubmittedDate":"12\/18\/2011 14:49"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"12\/17\/2011 21:39","GUID":"e466568067a24ea3b462ab6ede5e2b44","MemberId":6137409,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"crichey","SubmittedDate":"12\/17\/2011 21:39"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"12\/16\/2011 13:08","GUID":"fe18c7ea559f4770a6c3ff02dff2d8e1","MemberId":6382350,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"phil43112","SubmittedDate":"12\/16\/2011 13:08"},{"Comment":"

I loved how simple this was my 4 year daughter loved rolling these in sprinkles. We tried nuts, coconut and sprinkles we had to hold them in our hands for a minute or two to warm the truffle up enough to get the toppings to stick this was a wonderful treat for our family and friends. I immediately got request to make more.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"08\/11\/2011 12:21","GUID":"ddba3bac4b474000a6fb4af2a4ee594d","MemberId":3885565,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ChandiP","SubmittedDate":"08\/11\/2011 12:21"},{"Comment":"

I made this to bring over to my grandparent's house on Christmas Eve. Everyone loved them. I used 1\/2 tsp. peppermint extract instead of the vanilla to give it some Christmas flare. I also rolled them in either powdered sugar, red\/green colored sugar and holiday nonpareils.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"12\/31\/2010 16:32","GUID":"b21eee9744154d99874f92613529714e","MemberId":4096556,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"msitaly83@yahoo.com","SubmittedDate":"12\/31\/2010 16:32"},{"Comment":"

don't chill the dough, best to leave it sit for a 1\/2 hr room temp, then roll into balls, decorate and then chill for about 1\/2 hr<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"12\/22\/2009 22:09","GUID":"5a75b31837364d03a6af4c3f9b7522d5","MemberId":4532395,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"mistaya","SubmittedDate":"12\/22\/2009 22:09"},{"Comment":"

LOVED this recipe. So easy to make! I agree the chilling time given makes this impossible to work with, though. I chilled for an hour and after a half hour out of the fridge could easily work with it. I made a number of variations including rolling in chopped up Andes peppermint candies. It gave them a festive red and white coloring. The favorite seems to be the batch I used almond flavoring in rather than the vanilla, though. I then rolled it in chopped coconut. Definitely making every Christmas!<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"12\/21\/2009 15:26","GUID":"6ffada2edb99477480fb8096cd96d625","MemberId":1513300,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"skooter941","SubmittedDate":"12\/21\/2009 15:26"},{"Comment":"

This recipe couldn't be easier. My four-year-old daughter was more than happy to help in the kitchen. After I chilled the mixture for three hours, it was beyond firm and I was unable to shape into balls without first bringing it back to room temperature. Delicious results though!<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"11\/23\/2009 21:19","GUID":"240d17a8b3374c798f3250ae92fc7d28","MemberId":4238479,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"bbclark1979","SubmittedDate":"11\/23\/2009 21:19"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
