Calories: 198kcal
Cost: $6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free 1:1 flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk of choice
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Chocolate coating:
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or neutral oil
Toppings:
- Sprinkles white chocolate drizzle, or dark chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Heat-treat flour so dough is safe to eat. Place flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on HIGH for 90 seconds, whisking every 30 seconds. Cool completely.
- Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Mix in vanilla and milk.
- Add cooled flour and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Scoop 1 tablespoon portions, chill 10 minutes, then roll into smooth balls. Chill again while melting chocolate.
- Melt chocolate chips with oil in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip chilled dough balls in melted chocolate and set on the lined sheet.
- Add sprinkles or drizzle as desired. Refrigerate 5–10 minutes until set.
- Microwave note: You can melt the chocolate entirely in the microwave as described above.
Notes
- Always cool heat-treated flour to room temperature before mixing to avoid melting the chips.
- Use mini chocolate chips so the dough rolls smoothly.
- If chocolate is very hot and truffles are very cold, the coating can crack. Let the dough balls sit 2 minutes before dipping.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Freeze up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
- Gluten-free option works well with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
