If used just to coat the outside of the truffles, the problem probably
wasn't the powdered sugar. I use powdered sugar to coat one of three
types of truffles each year at Christmas and haven't had a problem
unless the truffles were too loose (like my first attempt at Chocolate
Raspberry where I didn't change anything except adding Raspberry
Puree). I have had some success with using regular granulated sugar to
coat truffles--hardens into a nice shell even on moist truffles. what's
your recipe? Maybe there is something with it.

PAX!
