This creamy bite-sized treat brings together the rich warmth of Biscoff and velvety chocolate for a no-bake dessert that disappears from the tray as soon as you set it out. These truffles have saved many last-minute events for me since I first whipped up a batch with leftover Halloween chocolate and realized just how easy and foolproof they are.
The first time I made these, it was just to use up extra Halloween candy and a nearly empty jar of cookie butter. Now my family requests them for birthdays and movie nights.
Ingredients
- Biscoff cookies: Deliver that signature spicy caramel undertone Find cookies that are crisp and fresh for best results
- Biscoff spread: This is the creamy magic that holds the truffles together Opt for crunchy if you prefer a little bite or smooth for pure creaminess Check the jar for freshness and no ingredient separation
- Milk chocolate: A sweet shell for the truffles Select high quality bars or chips for smooth melting Both plant-based and dairy versions work beautifully
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Crush the Cookies:
- Place Biscoff cookies in a food processor and blend into a fine crumb This makes sure your truffle centers are smooth with a pleasant texture
- Make the Biscoff Dough:
- Add melted Biscoff spread to the crumbs in the food processor Pulse until a thick dough forms that holds together when pressed If you prefer more texture use crunchy spread
- Set the Dough:
- Transfer dough to a bowl and refrigerate for ten to fifteen minutes This chilling step firms up the dough so you can roll it without sticking to your hands
- Form the Truffles:
- Roll dough into one-inch balls using your hands Try to keep them uniform for even dipping Arrange on a parchment lined tray and refrigerate for about one hour until firm
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- Melt milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in thirty second bursts stirring frequently until smooth Set aside cool for about five minutes to avoid melting the centers
- Dip and Decorate:
- Using a fork dip each chilled dough ball into the chocolate coating fully Allow excess chocolate to drip off Place back on the lined tray Drizzle more chocolate over the top for a decorative finish
- Set the Truffles:
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature or speed things up in the fridge Your truffles are ready once the shells are firm to the touch
