Halloween Cookie Dough Truffles
Description
The truffles start with a cookie dough made from softened butter, brown and white sugars, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, flour that has been heat-treated for safety, and sweetened condensed milk. Mini chocolate chips are folded in, adding texture and pockets of chocolate. The dough is chilled for firm handling and then shaped into small balls. These are frozen to solidify before coating.
The coating is prepared by melting white chocolate almond bark, which provides a smooth, sweet, and creamy shell. Each chilled ball is dipped into the coating, allowed to set, and decorated with festive candy melts, sprinkles, and candy eyes to complete the Halloween theme. The balance of pumpkin spice and chocolate creates a flavorful bite that's both soft inside and crisp outside.
These truffles are ideal for sharing during the Halloween season or making ahead for parties, combining familiar cookie dough taste with a decorative presentation that doesn’t require baking the entire cookie.
