I've used this recipe,

http//www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_26076,00.html?rsrc=search

and added rum instead of orange flavor or Gran Marnier, and done everything precisely, and they won't set. They taste bloody great but I've only tried to ball up a couple and they are just melting like the wicked witch.
Any ideas. Please,,,,,, smile

Turn off the halogen lights

gently remelt them and melt in some additional chocolate, and try again.

Also, no matter what the recipes say it is extremely difficult to get truffles to set enough to ball them up without putting them in the fridge for a while.

Thanks guys I did eventually put the mixture in the fridge. I was trying to avoid that as the chocolate hasn't been tempered and might have turned streaky white, but it didn't, so all's well. grin
