Strawberries and Cream Truffles
"stumbled across this while experimenting with Xmas sweets and truffles, and it has become a favourite. I leave the "cream" off a few, because there are always those strange people that dont like chocolate. Prep time includes chilling. If you wet your hands, you will find these easier to roll."

Does this mean shredded coconut??? It just says coconut, im confused a little -
These sound incredibily sweet. Do they work as well without the chocolate coating? I think the chocolate may put it over the top on the sweetness scale. -
I have not seen "packet jelly" what is this? I thought maybe they are talking about a pack of dry jello mix.

Sorry Mummamills, this just wasn't too our taste, it's very easy to make and looks very pretty with the white chocolate on top, I expected something creamier but the strawberry jelly didn't do it for me. -
This is definitely one sweet treat! The coconut adds a good flavour and helps to mellow out the other bold flavours in this dessert. -
I'd like to try this but the jelly I buy is in jars, where do you buy packets of jelly??
