Notes
Ensure truffles are well-coated with chocolate for best texture and presentation. Be patient with coating process. For elegance, serve on a fancy platter or individual plates. You can substitute Nutter Butter cookies with Oreos or graham crackers. Use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version. For healthier toppings, use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
