White Chocolate Biscoff Truffles

I have become obsessed with Trader Joe's Cookie Butter (nearly the same as Biscoff Spread). My dessert this past week has been a large spoonful of this delicious cookie-flavored paste. On the internet, I encountered this recipe for Biscoff Truffles:

Looking at it, and being a little lazy, I thought to myself, "What if I just took cookie butter and coated it in white chocolate?" Simple and easy! Plus, I like cookie butter and I like white chocolate, so the two combined should be even more delicious.

It was a delicious combination, and very sweet. Having a major sweet tooth, I liked them, but those who do not share my enthusiasm for sugar are now warned.

Ingredients:
1 jar of cookie butter
1 12-oz bag of white chocolate chips (I used one bag and it was not enough for a whole jar of cookie butter, two 12-oz bags of white chocolate chips would most likely be enough to coat all the truffles)

I first placed truffle-sized spoonfuls of cookie butter on a baking sheet with parchment paper. The sheet went into the oven for about 30 minutes.


Next, I melted white chocolate chips on the stove. After the chocolate reached a homogeneous liquid form, I stuck a knife (a toothpick would probably work better) into the first frozen cookie butter blob and dipped. Success! I was worried the cookie butter would melt into the chocolate, but that didn't happen.

I miscalculated the amount of chocolate needed for the truffles. Two 12-oz bags of white chocolate chips would be much better than one. As you can see, there is a decreasing about of chocolate on my truffles.

 

The newly-coated truffles were put back on the cookie sheet and put in the oven for another 30 minutes for the chocolate to harden.




Ta-da! Sweet tooth satisfied.

  1. These look amazing! It was brave of you to use white chocolate! I usually just use dipping chocolate since it is way easier to handle. I will have to try these (if I don't eat the whole jar of cookie butter first)!!
