TIPS:

If you feel difficulty rolling the balls due to their stickiness, refrigerate them for some time.
Then you will easily roll the balls. The other option is to apply oil to your hands.
We recommend you be careful while making the caramel sauce for the truffles. As it is in very small quantity it might burn easily.
It would be easy to utilize the double-boiler approach, for melting chocolate. If you try to melt the chocolate using direct heat, it would rather seize but doesn’t melt in the proper nice way. Chocolate always needs indirect heat to melt into a smooth paste.
You have to be fully focused while grinding the pecans. You should not ground them too much that it turns into the pecan butter

FAQs:

Is grinding pecans tricky?

You have to be careful to grind pecans coarsely. If you process them extra they may turn into butter of pecans.

What does the caramel sauce do here?

We make a little batch of caramel sauce here. It will act as an agent for binding these truffles. You may use dates if you want to replace the caramel sauce.

What is the danger to your chocolate if you melt it on high heat?

If you try to melt the chocolate on high heat it may form melting clumps. Thus, the double-boiler is the best method for chocolate melting. It will melt smoothly by this method.
