Then I use semi-sweet chocolate chips with a tablespoon or two of refined coconut oil instead of candy coating (and 6oz is not enough, I usually end up doubling).

I made these for my in-laws' Christmas celebration in 1994 & they were a tremendous hit! Even my father-in-law who rarely ate sweets, but loved coffee, ate more than a few! I didn't change a thing with the recipe. These are a regular feature in our Christmas candy assortment.<\/p>","CommentId":3,"DateRated":"01\/14\/2018 02:32","GUID":"bacd86d8587f45f1bed38a2ccf561cbb","MemberId":1094741,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Sue Zappa","SubmittedDate":"01\/14\/2018 02:32"},{"Comment":"

The taste was great - but they were so soft it was impossible to work with them. I even tried freezing them so I could coat them, but they literally dissolved as soon as I put them in the chocolate to coat them. I tried both dark chocolate and white chocolate. No luck with either.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"12\/08\/2012 12:09","GUID":"0ED7DE855EB247B2B86CBBDD04642AF6","MemberId":573585,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"hauke","SubmittedDate":"12\/08\/2012 12:08"},{"Comment":"

Awesome! One suggestion--dip truffles, place on a sheet of waxed paper to harden (decorate if desired) and then place in the foil cups. We tried to put the dipped truffles directly into foil cups and it was very messy! Not thinking! I'm sure these will become a holiday candy standard.

I totally wasn't thinking when I added water (in the coffee) to melted chocolate...it seized. Adding water to melted chocolate is a no no! I made again and added oil based flavoring and they were great! Oil based flavoring is a lot stronger then extract, 1\/4 to 1\/2 tsp is plenty!<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"12\/12\/2011 13:34","GUID":"ca07fc608ba243bc8cb324d3a242e651","MemberId":5934110,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"sdeb","SubmittedDate":"12\/12\/2011 13:34"},{"Comment":"
