# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They somehow taste like you spent hours making them despite being ridiculously simple
- The mint and chocolate combo hits different when the texture is that creamy
02 -
- If your truffle centers start getting too soft while dipping, pop the whole tray back in the freezer for 10 minutes
- Dipping goes way smoother when your chocolate is warm but not hot, and your truffles are cold but not frozen solid
03 -
- Wear food safe gloves when rolling the truffles if you find the dough sticking to your hands too much
- Save some of the cookie crumbs before mixing everything together, because you cant go back and get them later
