Once rolled, your truffles are ready to eat! For best flavor and texture, they should be eaten at room temperature. If you are not going to serve them right away, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, but bring them to room temperature before serving. You can store truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Note that truffles are traditionally served with a coating of cocoa powder, but you can experiment by rolling them in toasted nuts, coconut, powdered sugar, or any other coatings you can dream up. Truffles can also be dipped in chocolate if you desire.
