Tuxedo Truffle Cups For really easy truffles, omit the chocolate cups. Increase the powdered sugar to 3 cups; substitute orange extract for the rum extract. Scoop the white truffle mixture into small balls and roll them in finely chopped nuts or unsweetened cocoa. Place the truffles in small foil cups.
