In reply to Donna Dougherty. Yes, you'll just have to leave it on the counter for an hour or two to soften.

I left the garnache in the refrigerator over night. Now it is too hard to shape.

In reply to Chadi Saleh. The shortening thins out the chocolate so it's easier to dip the truffles.

Hi!
I’m 13, and an a novice baker.
These taste really good, however there are a couple of things that should be added.
1. After mixing the ganache, you have to whip it, and THEN let it sit in the fridge to chill. I didn’t whip it, and it didn’t thicken after being in the fridge for 3 hours. After I whipped it, it improved, but next time I would whip, and then chill.
2. Keep the dipping chocolate warm. Maybe most people already know this, but you want to keep it nice and melty, so that you can dip, and get a nice layer. I dipped, and then remelted it every 10 or so minutes. I definitely recommend doing that.

Overall, I really liked this recipe. Its a bit messy, so be prepared. I will definitely be making these again, and they are a great holiday gift. I’m thinking of making icing in the holiday colors, to drizzle on top. Thank you for another lovely recipe.
