The quality of the chocolates has a lot to do with it also. A trick I learned recently is to place a dab of melted, warm chocolate in the palm of your hand and roll the truffles in that. The layer is easier to control that way. Your hand's warmth keeps the chocolate soft and it doesn't clump as badly. You can add a little butter to make it smoother.
