I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5 stars. It's a good recipe, but it's not the best truffle recipe I've ever tried.

The truffles melted a bit too easily. I think I would chill them for longer next time.

I had a hard time finding creme de menthe extract. I ended up using peppermint extract instead.
