These truffles are expensive to make - special coffee was $4.28; good chocolate at least $2.50; not to mention the ingredients for the pound cake. You also have to make buttercream frosting but I bought a can instead for the sake of time. The truffles are too soft and the coffee flavor too strong. Traditional truffles are much better and I would not waste my time on these again. The batch is now in the garbage....
