I have choc dipped some of my truffles today.Some of them have started to leak through the chocolate at the bottom. I have never known this happen before.Anyone had the same problem or got any idea what is wrong. I guess, Hubby now has a few rejects to nibble on prior to Christmas.

yip, this happened to me the other day, they started leaking through their bottoms (lol) not long after dipping them in choc. i just turned them upside down and put them in the freezer, pulled them out earlier today, and they're fine now

Thanks babytears, I will put them in the freezer and see if that helps.The first batch dipped were OK, it was the second batch that have leaked.

Had you refrigerated them before you dipped them! I find that the closer they are to room temp when dipped, the less likely they are to bleed.

Ohhhhh that'll be my problem then. I'll keep this in mind for next time :)

Thanks for your input Cat286, Yes, my mixture was kept in the fridge same as always.I have never had this happen in the past as I dipped when they were chilled.I will do some more today and allow them to get to room temp fore dipping to see if this helps.

I have dipped some more, as suggested, I left them to come to room temp before dipping. There's still the odd one which has leaked, although the end result is much better.I have just looked at the ones I did yesterday and where they leaked, it has sealed itself again.
