💭 Tips
- If you are using chocolate instead of candy melts be sure to temper your chocolate so that it stays smooth.
- When dipping the Valentine’s Day Oreo Truffles in chocolate if they are falling apart put them in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm them back up.
- If you are having trouble getting the chocolate to coat the balls evenly, try using a toothpick to help them dip into the chocolate.
- If using candy melts, add vegetable shortening or coconut oil to the candy as it melts. This makes the candy spread move evenly and creates a smoother shell around the truffle.
