I am going to be making a whole bunch of cake truffles for our church's picnic this weekend and wondered if I should cover them in candy melts or real chocolate because

1) flavor (most important) and
2) weather issues

They probably won't be in the sun but the temp may be anywhere from mid 70's to mid 80's. I need your advise so I can go shopping.

Taste wise I would use real chocolate. I had mine outside and it was in the high 70's and they were fine. I had them in a container on ice before I set them out and that really helped.

Although real chocolate will taste better, unless it is tempered, it will melt very easily. Candy melts are much more sturdy, and for cake truffles, it works fine.

I use that chocolate almond bark and it tastes awesome on cake truffles!!

The ice bucket idea is GREAT! What about mixing candy melts and real chocolate? would it be the best of both worlds?
