Sugar balls

I saw "TRUFFLES" on my "Cooking" sub list and it seems random -- I'm not sure I really like truffles all that much, I mean, enough to put them on here, but why not? 

 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles (without eggs, nice)

And when you see a recipe like this?? C'mon....

 

Pretty simple ingredients -- low cal, of course (no, they're not)

 Patience... patience... you have to make sure they're really cold to work with properly.  And avoid temptation to eat them early!  (Esp knowing there's no raw eggs!)

So.... I wasn't the PRETTIEST truffle maker, I didn't realize the chocolate on the bottom wouldn't clean off as well as I'd hoped.  But hoooooly mooooly - these are tasty little nuggets.  Luckily, Nick works today, so we packed up all but 6 and sent them to fatten up his co-workers. :)

Overall, pretty easy!  I wish I had been more patient with the dipping.  I didn't have quite enough chocolate, so it was shallow which was tough and I should have refrozen the second half (they melted by the time I got to them, so they weren't as pretty).  But something I'd try again.

Any other suggestions/requests for truffles to try??  #9 Make truffles -- CHECK!
