Meet the Cook: As everyone in my neighborhood knows, Christmas is my very favorite time of year. I make many cookies, cakes and candies - including this easy but elegant recipe - to give to relatives and friends. The aroma of the chocolate and raspberry is heavenly when you're making these truffles. -Helen Vail, Glenside, Pennsylvania

Like others, it did take more time to freeze than it says in the recipe, but we added more raspberry jam than it called for. We used our smallest Pampered Chef scoop, popped them on wax paper for 15-20 min. then rolled them smooth. We skipped the next step to freeze & dipped them in melted white chocolate, lifted out with a fork, let excess drip off & put them on bar pan with wax paper. They still kept firm w/o freezing again & sprinkled with red sugar crystals to dress them up a bit. Overall, very good & very tasty!

Very decadent! The raspberry flavor was very subtle.

I enjoyed this recipe but it was not quite as easy or fancy as I thought it would be. Like others, I initially had a hard time getting the mix to freeze then my husband suggested dividing the mix thus, making a thinner mix to freeze; after we did this they froze in no time. I used a round teaspoon to scoop them out so they were already in a ball-ish shape but I still had to smooth it all out which was tricky because the chocolate melted if I messed with it too long. I dipped them in the chocolate using a toothpick and set them on a pan I kept in the freeze so the melted chocolate didn't melt the "balls". No matter how hard I tried they weren't as pretty as the picture...oh well. One other thing I did: I coated half in dark chocolate (for the dark chocolate lovers in the family) and I think they had a much better flavor; the white chocolate was too sweet for me and I'm not usually that sensitive to sweets. Over all: good dessert but definitely not for someone without time or patience. Sorry for the long review, just wanted to help others who may find it hard to freeze the mix or roll them into balls.

Had a very hard time making them form into balls. Gave up and currently they are in the mini muffin cups. I layered the outside coating, the truffle and added a tiny drop (about 1/8 teaspoon) of the jam and then a layer of the coating mixture. Had to make a second batch of the coating. They look great now!

Please help. I have tried making 2 batches of thewse truffles and they won't freeze. I'm making them for someones baby shower and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've the times exactly. When I put the batter on the cookie sheet it spreads, I can roll them into balls but they just spread again. Thank you
