‘Tis the Season for all things sweet – and no holiday is complete without my No Bake M&M Cookie Dough Truffles!
I have a major weakness when it comes to sweets… chocolate chip cookie dough.
Ever since I was a little girl I remember having an obsession with eating cookie dough. I would sneak into the refrigerator at my grandmother’s house and pinch off a bite almost every night!
When I saw a recipe for No Bake Cookie Dough Truffles I had to try them – but instead of normal chocolate
No Bake M&M Cookie Dough Truffles
INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup milk
2 cups milk chocolate chips or candy melts
1 tube of Mini M&M’s… or two, if you like them as much as I do.
DIRECTIONS:
Beat butter and sugars and in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed for two to three minutes. Add milk and vanilla.
Stir in flour and salt and mix on low speed. Gently stir in M&Ms by hand – over stirring may cause colors to run.
Cover and chill dough for 1 hour.
When dough is firm enough to handle, coat your hands with flour and form dough into 1″ balls and arrange on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.

Place sheets in freezer and let chill for 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate chips or candy melts in microwave stirring every 30 seconds until it is completely melted.
Using a fork dip cookie balls into chocolate to cover. Be sure to tap fork on side of pan to let drip and remove any excess coating, and return to waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until set.
Makes approximately 40 truffles.
