In order for this recipe to work, your truffles have to be frozen. If they are not frozen, they will be misshaped, and they will fall apart in the warm white chocolate.

In another medium-sized bowl, melt candy coating according to directions on package (I usually microwave mine for 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until completely melted and smooth).

Don’t let any moisture get into your melted white chocolate or it will get a weird texture and won’t work for dipping.

Dip balls and place on wax paper or aluminum foil. If you want, garnish tops with sugar sprinkles.

Notes

For dipping, one of our tricks is to use a plastic fork and break off the middle tines. Just leaving the two on each end (it kind of looks like a hand doing a rock-on sign! Ha ha!).

Drop the frozen ball into the white chocolate and then carefully lift out with the fork invention, tapping the side of the bowl to let the excess chocolate drip off.

Do you store these in an airtight container? or the fridge ?

They are fine in an airtight container. But I would store them in the fridge and set out an hour or so before serving or giving away as gifts.

They can be frozen in a freezer or airtight container.
