I love this idea! After tasting it I thought the filling needed more spice though so I doubled them. A great Christmas treat.

    Delicious! I made these to give as Christmas gifts and they were to die for! The combination of the smooth spiced filling and chocolate coating are simply divine. Thanks for the recipe!

    these are sooooo good!! easy and great flavor. do let them set up over night in a pie pan so they are firm enough to work with. i used a melon baller to scoop out the filling and make balls. my son and i wore latex gloves so our hands would not be too messy. i used cooling racks to pour the chocolate OVER the truffles and the other chocolate went back into the melting bowl. better than dipping them. they sort of melted on me when i did that.

    I had a super amount of trouble with these. They wouldn't firm up for me at all. They practially disintegrated when I dipped them in the chocolate (which was just warm enough to stay melted) The few I did manage to get dipped and set before they gooed all apart tasted very good. I may try these again and add more white chocolate to see if that helps keep them firm.
