As I was given the recipe verbally, there may have been miscommunication.
I found the goat cheese mixture far too soft to handle. Even after chilling there was no way to dip the balls in the chocolate. We ended up drizzling the chocolate over the balls then sifted the cocoa powder and added the flakes of salt.
We then put the confections in the freezer to firm up a little.
The chocolate added nothing to the party and the salt was a bit distracting.
The goat cheese was OK but the pepper would have added more zing had we used the Szechuan peppercorns.
I would not do this recipe again.

After reading the review here at cookbooker, I knew I'd have to make this recipe ASAP, even though I'm not really a truffle lover. I'm so glad I did.
LOVED the goat cheese and pepper centers, and the salt. Less fond of the chocolate coating, mainly for textural reasons. But I still like the idea of pairing sweetened goat cheese with chocolate and I will probably try the filling as the center of a cake-like chocolate thumbprint cookie.

I only made half a recipe of these but they were so good next time it'll probably be a whole batch. I took them to my Mom and Dad's for sharing with the few dark chocolate lovers in my family and they all adored them. The large flacked salt on the finished product is divine. Joy is a genius!
