# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • No oven required which means more time for egg hunting and less heat in the kitchen
  • That irresistible combo of creamy pudding meets crunchy cookies in every single bite
02 -
  • If your truffle balls feel too sticky to roll chill the dough for 15 minutes before shaping
  • White chocolate seizes easily so microwave in very short intervals and stir frequently
03 -
  • Work quickly when decorating because the chocolate coating firms up fast
  • If the chocolate gets too thick to work with stir in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin it out
