Help me make my Choc Oreo Balls look as good as they taste..?

i've found when making truffles that i have to keep my hands at just the right temp to roll them well if i'm doing it by hand - over xmas this meant washing my hands in cool water quite a bit.

i also love my truffle dipper. the finish looks pretty good & it's less messy for me. it was really cheap as well from a homewares shop - less than $5 from memory.

Thanks Ladies, I got tied up lastnight and a bit slow to get going today Thanks for the tips. I usually make the mixture - put it in the fridge to make it a bit stiffer, then roll the balls, but them on a tray of baking paper - sometimes fridge them again before dipping them in melted chocolate. I think the tool is what I need! WIll have to get one when I got to Perth next week woot!!

LimeSlice: I used Cadbury Dairy Milk block - melted this time. Have used Nestle cooking melts too. Not sure which is better though.

For those making them, they're quite rich, and I like them best when they're fresh from the fridge, nice and cold

I was just going to suggest to make them squares, not balls. Press the mixture into a lined lamington or slice tin, chill until firm, then turn out and cut into even squares. Roll in cocoa/drinking chocolate/etc. Something different anyway.

I don't like making truffles as I find them so time consuming! But they are yummy!
