Notes
Storage:
Store tightly covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator with parchment paper or waxed paper between the layers.
This creamy, homemade candy will be good for at least a week.
Freeze in an airtight container up to three months.
Expert Tip: These will get soft at room temperature so keep them in the refrigerator.
- Chill the mixture completely before trying to roll into balls or you'll have a huge mess. This is an EASY project but there's no hurrying it!
- Use a tiny cookie scoop or melon baller to get evenly sized truffles.
- Because these are made with sweetened condensed milk they are very sweet but they hold up a little better.
- If it's hot in your kitchen work in batches and keep the majority of the truffle mixture in the refrigerator.
- The yield from this recipe will depend a lot on what size you make them AND how much you lick the spoon and/or sample your creations.
- Candied violets are a GORGEOUS garnish for these.
