Quick and easy to make and I LOVE they can be made a few days in advance. I made mine smaller and probably ended up with over 70 truffles. Rather than rolling them in the coconut, I am storing them in a container filled with shredded coconut....I figured that will keep them from sticking together for the next few days.
