Calories: 214kcal
Cost: $6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk of choice
- 1 cup mini M&Ms
White chocolate coating:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or neutral oil
Toppings:
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Heat-treat flour in a microwave-safe bowl for 90 seconds, whisking every 30 seconds. Cool completely.
- Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add vanilla and milk, mixing well.
- Add salt and cooled flour. Mix until dough forms. Fold in M&Ms.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Scoop 1 tablespoon portions of dough and chill 10 minutes. Roll into smooth balls and chill again while melting coating.
- Melt white chocolate chips with oil in 30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip chilled dough balls in melted chocolate. Place back on parchment.
- Top with sprinkles and chill 5–10 minutes until coating sets.
Notes
- Always cool heat-treated flour before mixing to avoid melting the M&Ms.
- Mini M&Ms work best, but regular M&Ms can be chopped into smaller pieces.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freeze up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature 10–15 minutes before serving.
- Make dairy-free with vegan butter, non-dairy milk, and dairy-free white chocolate.
