I love how versatile this recipe is. I've made it with different types of nuts and chocolate and it always turns out great.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I made these truffles with sunflower seeds instead of pistachios. They turned out great!

These truffles are really good, but they're a little too rich for me. I think I'll try making them with dark chocolate next time.

I had some trouble getting the truffles to set. I think I might have used too much cream.

These truffles are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These truffles are a great way to use up leftover pistachios. I always have a bag of pistachios in my pantry and now I have a new way to use them.
