How soon can I dip these before christmas day? I realise you can't keep them in the fridge as the chocolate sweats!! They are the cream cheese/ crushed biscuit kind and are currently undipped in the freezer!!!!

Julesy, I've made these weeks in advance and frozen them, with chocolate coating. The chocolate sweating really isn't that big a deal - it tends to only happen if they warm up really quickly and even if it does people will still love the truffles. :-) I would go ahead and dip them now, and keep in the fridge for the next week.

Was thinking the same thing - will dip tomorrow and pop back into the freezer.I think if they were put into the fridge for an hour before serving, they should be fine.(They don't last long anyway).I've got mint slice ones and peanut butter ones.

you should never refridgerate good chocolate, if you have a cool place in your house then they should stay fine for up to 2 months

I think the poster means due to the fact they have cream cheese in they need to be refridgerated - I have choc dipped truffles in my fridge and they will be fine until Christmas day

Hmmm... yes I had quite a stash of choc dipped truffles in the freezer for Xmas Day.But they seem to be evaporating at an alaraming rate, possibly two or three disappearing daily!Its hard enough hiding the presents from the 11 year old without having to hide the food from the 40 something year old too!
