I make a lot of candy around the holidays. This is one of my favorites because the mixture isn't sticky or messy to work with, and the results are just delicious. —Jean Olson, Wallingford, Iowa

another hint, if you're coating with peppermint pieces, it took me almost 5 of the med size canes to cover the recipe. got to crush them almost to powder with just a few little bits whole to get it to cover well and don't let the mixture get too cold
if it was gritty, you didn't get the sugar dissolved properly and perhaps didn't cook to the right temp. get a GOOD candy thermometer and try again. can be flavored other than mint as well...

I was disappointed with this recipe. It was gritty and tasted more like minty fudge balls instead of truffles.

Chocolate seized when I put min extract-or is it supposed to have a gritty texture?

I don't recommend freezing,a week in the 'fridge however it's sugar so it will probably keep much longer.Either way thaw at room temp. to keep the shine and not lose texture.

If I make the mixture the night before, and put it in the fridge, what is the best way to warm it up to continue rolling the truffles
