These truffles are a great way to use up leftover dried fruit. I always have a bag of dried fruit in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my truffles turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try making them again and see if I can get them right.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of chocolate. I used semisweet chocolate, but I think dark chocolate would be even better.

I'm not a big fan of dried fruit, but I really enjoyed these truffles. The chocolate coating is the perfect complement to the tartness of the fruit.
