Notes
*Coating ideas: cocoa powder, powdered sugar, finely chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles, cookie crumbs, or a dip in melted chocolate. See the post above for flavoring ideas.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Let refrigerated truffles come to room temperature before serving. They can be frozen, but may lose some flavor.
