Then use two forks to roll truffles in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove the truffles with forks and allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl before placing truffles on prepared baking sheet.Jazz It UpSprinkle truffles with colored sugar or sprinkles in addition to or in place of the cookie crumbs.
