Instructions

1. Melt the White Chocolate:

3. Place the truffle balls on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Coat the Truffles:

1. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.
2. Roll each truffle ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
3. Return the coated truffles to the baking sheet.

6. Chill Again:
