Holiday Truffles
Author: Sweet Dash of Sass
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 2 dozen
- 1 pkg. (12 oz) Frosted Animal Cookies (I chose the new Jungle Animals kind since they were green/white – perfect for the holidays!)
- ½ container (8 oz.) Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 pkg. (12 oz) White Chocolate Melting Chips
- Christmas Color Sprinkles/Jimmies
- 2-4 tablespoons of oil/butter (optional, to help thin out chocolate)
- In a food processor, pulse animal cookies until finely ground.
- Depending on the size of your food processor, you might need to do this step in two batches.
- Empty crushed cookies into a large mixing bowl.
- Add frosting to crushed up cookies and mix well. You may need to mix with your hands to fully blend the frosting evenly with the cookies.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out teaspoonfuls of dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Place in refrigerator for at least an hour to harden back up.
- Melt white chocolate using a double boiler.
- Roll each cookie ball in melted white chocolate and place on a parchment paper.
- Immediately sprinkle the cookies while chocolate is still wet.
- Let cool completely till chocolate hardens. You can even place them in refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to help them harden faster.
- Store in a cool, airtight container.
