- The ingredients can become sticky while you roll the truffles between your hands. Try refrigerating the ingredients for a few minutes or spraying your hands with nonstick to make it easier to form your truffles.
- Add extra flavor to your truffles by adding a bit of shredded coconut. Another option is to add a teaspoon or so of unsweetened cocoa powder to make your truffles taste a bit chocolaty too!
