    I love chocolate and mint together and can’t wait to try these, but I have a couple of questions. Did you use green food coloring in the filling? And for the mint extract or flavoring, would peppermint extract give the same result?

    I love chocolate & mint and these look devine and yet easy to make. Now my
    second love is chocolate & orange. So after make some mint truffles, I will
    switch the mint for orange extract and orange zest. OMG…I might have to hog them
    all to myself!!!

    I’m trying to make these and my filling has chilled for 3 hours and it’s way too sticky and I can’t even roll it into a ball. What should I do?
