Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

Absolutely, I've made these homemade truffles with milk chocolate when that's all I had - they turn out sweeter and creamier. Just keep in mind they'll be softer, so chill them a bit longer before rolling.

How long do chocolate truffles last?

These no-bake treats stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week - if you can resist eating them all sooner. For longer storage, freeze them up to 3 months (thaw in the fridge overnight).

What else can I roll them in besides cocoa powder?

Oh, this is where the fun begins. Try powdered sugar, crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or even sprinkles for special occasions. My personal favorite? A mix of cocoa powder and cinnamon for a warm spice kick. If you enjoy warm spices, you might also like this cinnamon sugar pumpkin muffins recipe .

Can I make these dairy-free?

You bet, Swap the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk and use dairy-free chocolate. The texture changes slightly, but they're still delicious. Just be extra gentle when rolling - they're more delicate.

Why are my truffles too soft?

Don't worry - we've all been there. Usually it means they needed more chilling time. Pop them back in the fridge for another 30 minutes. Next time, try chilling your mixing bowl beforehand too - it helps.
