No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

These No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles are what happen when edible cookie dough decides to become a full-blown problem. They’re creamy, chocolatey, crunchy, and impossible to stop eating.

Forgive me.

I think I might be a rebel.

These truffles have raw cookie dough. *You can find eggless, ready to use, safe to eat raw, cookie dough in the refrigerated area of most grocery stores. I’ve also included a couple of eggless cookie dough recipes at the bottom of this post if you want to make the dough.

Using cookie dough that has raw eggs is potentially not safe.

However.

Let’s think about this. How many times during your lifetime have you licked the spoon/spatula/whisk after your mom made cookie dough/cake batter/brownie mix? How many times did your mom give you the spoon covered in chocolate after she was finished mixing so you could finish it off? 

That’s right. Many damn times. (And keep in mind she could have scraped that spatula much better but she didn’t because she loves you and you were salivating over it.)

And, oh, you’re still here.

So, apparently in the 1980’s there was an outbreak of salmonella that was linked back to a dairy or a bakery, or both. Google it if you want. It won’t change the fact that we all licked that spatula.

That being said, I’m not advocating the consumption of raw eggs. Eat them at your own discretion. 

Tips for Perfect Truffles

  • To eliminate any dangers of eating raw flour, heat treat (toast) your flour at 350° for 10 minutes.
  • Using a cookie scoop to form equal sized truffles
  • Use real chocolate (if you can), use the melting bark in a pinch
  • Use a fork to hold the truffles while coating to let the excess drain off

These truffles, however, can be made with egg or eggless cookie dough.

What Makes No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles Work

The addition of Kellogg’s Krave cereal to these truffles was a last minute decision that IIt’s basically a vanilla flavored, fluffy, yet crunchy type of cereal filled with chocolate in the middle, and it gives these truffles a crazy addictive crunch that’s just enough to make them dangerous. These are no bake, easy to make, and they’re perfect for holidays, school parties, gift giving, and snacking.

My family is obsessed with the cereal – I have a feeling when I buy it, they hide it from each other. They are literally bottomless pits that I can’t seem to keep up with; I seriously cannot control these appetites. I’m talking about a 17 year old boy, a 15 year old girl and a 43 year old man that have sugar cravings that are almost unnatural.

FYI, this is not a sponsored post. Since my favorite people in the world are obsessed with this stuff I thought I would play around and make a dessert with it. The truffles were definitely a win.
