THese sound delicious!!
These look so delightful! Yum!
those look so good,,i love truffles
These sound wonderful. I hope when I make them they turn out as good as yours. Thank you for sharing
When do you add the baileys?
Add it when you add the graham cracker crumbs when you are making the ball mixture.
Was excited to make these, but no where in the recipe does it tell you when to add the Baileys Irish cream– in the ball itself or the chocolate coating , just wondering. Thanks!
It gets added in with the graham crackers in the ball itself.
Beware – crazy delicious!!! Crack balls! These are amazing, so double this recipe if you’re interested in having some left to share. Seriously.
Yummy!
Can they be made ahead of time and frozen for later use?
You can. They’re certainly better fresh because the chocolate may crackle a little but you could make them ahead and freeze them.
Roughly how many does this make?
20-24 depending on how large you make your truffle balls.
