Common Mistakes
Some common mistakes to avoid when making these truffles include:
- Not blending the cookies and cream cheese together well enough – this will result in lumpy truffles.
- Not freezing the truffles long enough before dipping in chocolate – this will cause the truffles to fall apart when you try to dip them.
- Not refrigerating the truffles after dipping in chocolate – this will cause the chocolate to melt and run.
