### **Tips for Perfect Carrot Cake Truffles**

– **Use a Firm Carrot Cake**: Make sure your carrot cake is completely cool before crumbling it, and avoid using overly moist cake, as it can make the truffles too sticky to shape.
– **Refrigerate the Truffles**: Chilling the shaped truffles before dipping them in chocolate helps them maintain their shape and ensures the chocolate coating won’t melt into the filling.
– **Play with Coatings**: While **white chocolate** is the traditional choice for coating, feel free to use **milk chocolate**, **dark chocolate**, or even **dark chocolate with a pinch of sea salt** for a different flavor.
– **Make Ahead**: These truffles can be made a day or two ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
