I am also going to use the fat free cool whip, because I LOVE it...usually I hate fat free ANYTHING, but I have used this between two graham crackers and froze them. A hairdresser told me she served these to children and they LOVED them, asking what kind of ice cream that was...it was the fat free cool whip. LOL She just froze it between two graham crackers. So, we'll see how it is in truffles. :dancingmonster: Going to make a half batch of these today..since I have leftover chips from the cracker candy I made today, using less of the chips, on that.

I'm surprised you used Cool-Whip instead of making some yourself, especially since it's so easy to make. This is an interesting recipe. Thanks for posting it. Wow!

But, I did it the LAZY way. First of all, I was tired - I made the Baked Potato soup this am, and was busy in the am...and then made the cracker candy..so by this time, I decided on shortcuts. I just used about 6 oz. of the Hershey's MILK chocolate chipsa and about 2 oz. of Cool Whip (guesstimate), and then just crushed some grahams. Instead of making the truffle shapes, I just put it all in a bowl, froze it and then poured the crushed graham's over it all and gently pressed them in the top. I ate a spoonful of it and it was DIVINE. So, I made lazy day truffles. LOL The shape did NOT change the wonderful taste, trust me. :cattail: :shimmy: :purr: :elephant: I made a half order of Toffee cracker candy today, and then decided to make a SMALL batch of truffles.

I think it would also be interesting to try substituting marshmallow fluff for the cool-whip. It would be smores truffles. :) :purr: That looks really yummy.

The last truffle I ate last week, was a Teuscher's Champayne truffle...these would be much easier on my budget. LOL They look divine!

I love your hammer. Saw some screw drivers in the auto parts store that match. I digress, I usually use the rolling pin and the plastic bag. It's quicker I'd think and that means quicker to the truffles, LOL. Thx again, Terry Suzanne, Thx for the truffles. I love your hammer. Saw some screw drivers in the auto parts store that match.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE chocolate!!! I am trying to enjoy dark chocolate, since reading "French Women Don't Get Fat" by Mireille Guilliano -such a good little common sense book...I LOVE Lindt 70 percent chocolate bars or their Excellence bar - I purchased some artisan from San Fran and it was tooooo strong for me...LOVE chocolate.
