My job was to prepare the mint flavored insides. This was SURPRISINGLY easy. What stunk about the process was rolling them into balls. I pulled out my little cookie dough scooper and the mint chocolate I had prepared was so hard it broke my scooper. Waah. I later discovered that each flavor produces its own kind of problems - hard or soft - but that the mint was one of the harder ones to roll.
Anyway - after four hours, we had a TON of truffles. I didn't take my camera along, unfortunately, but I will if I'm ever invited back!
I think I went home with about 40 truffles! We had mint (green), butter cream (yellow), raspberry (red), caramel (brown), and Bailey's (white).
We took these to a Sunday dinner at my parents' house. Reviews were mixed on favorites. Mom and Ellie really liked raspberry. My kids loved the mint. I'm not a huge truffle fan, but those Bailey's ones...slurp.
What was ridiculous? We ate these in about a week. Not our finest moment of 2012.

Really, it took you a whole week?
