Truffles at Outdoor Wedding?

nicoleandersonmd

Hello Ladies,

My wedding is in Mexico April 19th. Average temp for time of day is 75degrees. My questions are: Does anyone have experience giving truffles as a wedding favor at a warm outdoor wedding? If so, did they melt?

The truffles I would use stand up pretty well to body heat (i.e. I can hold them in my hand and they dont stert melting like a milk chocolate would). Also, half of our wedding cake is chocolate with a chocolate filling and chocolate gabache, and our baker states that it will stand up to the temp. Regardless, I certainly do not want to give our guests pretty little boxes of misshapen mess!!!

Thoughts?

Can you keep the boxed truffles inside where it's air conditioned, or outside in a cooler or something, until RIGHT before the reception?   Or if it's a long reception, then right until the end, then set them out on a table for people to take home?

I think in 75 degree weather they will probably be okay in the shade, but maybe not if they are in direct sunlight for a long period of time.

I dont think keeping them inside until right before the ception would be s problem. It is at night, so sunlight is not a problem.......
