• Skipping the chilling step – Chilling the truffles helps them set properly. If you skip this, they may not hold their shape.
• Using low-quality chocolate – The flavor of your truffles is only as good as the chocolate you use. Opt for high-quality dark chocolate chips for the best results.
• Overmixing the batter – Mix just until combined to avoid tough truffles. Overmixing can lead to a dense texture instead of a fudgy one.
• Ignoring decoration options – Don’t miss out on fun toppings! Customize your truffles with sprinkles or nuts for an appealing finish.
