Ingredients
- 15 oz. Circus Animal Cookies
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 12 oz. pink candy melts
- 10 oz. white candy melts
- 1/2 cup bright pink candy melts
- Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Crush the Cookies – Using a food processor, blend the Circus Animal Cookies into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Mix the Dough – In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with cream cheese, mixing until a dough forms.
- Shape the Truffles – Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the Truffles – Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Coating – Melt pink and white candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each.
- Dip the Truffles – Coat half of the truffles in pink melts and the other half in white melts. Let excess drip off before placing them back on the tray.
- Decorate – Sprinkle rainbow sprinkles onto the pink-coated truffles while the coating is still wet. Drizzle bright pink melted candy over the white-coated truffles for an extra decorative touch.
- Set & Serve – Allow the truffles to fully set at room temperature, or chill in the fridge for quicker setting.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Freeze for up to six weeks in a sealed bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
- Use a fork or toothpick to dip truffles for a smooth finish.
- Experiment with different candy melt colors for a custom look!
