Can I use different cookies for the truffles?

How long do these truffles last?

If stored properly in an airtight container in the fridge, the Grinch Truffles can last up to a week. However, they are so delicious that they are likely to disappear much faster!

Can I freeze the truffles?

Yes, you can freeze these truffles! After they are fully set, you can place them in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper. They can last up to a month in the freezer. Just remember to let them thaw slightly before enjoying them.

What kind of candy melts work best?

While green candy melts are traditional, you can use any color that fits your theme, such as red or gold for other festive occasions. Just make sure they melt smoothly for the best coating results.

Can these truffles be made dairy-free?

You can easily adapt this recipe to be dairy-free by using dairy-free cream cheese and non-dairy cookie options. Many brands offer delicious substitutes that would work perfectly!
