Eggnog Truffles

These were ok, but I wasn't crazy about them.  I'm not a big fan of white chocolate and found them a bit too sweet.  I did both methods, one dipped in white chocolate and one dipped in powdered sugar. 

Ingredients

• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• ½ cup eggnog
• 2¾ cups crushed vanilla sandwich cookies, divided (I used Golden Oreos)
• 1 package vanilla candy melts or vanilla almond bark

 Instructions

1. Heat white chocolate chips and cream in the microwave for 1 - 1½ minutes.
2. Stir until smooth.
3. Mix in 2½ cups crushed cookies.
4. Place the bowl in the freezer for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
5. Use a one tablespoon dough scoop to make even sized truffles.
6. Roll the truffles between your hands to make them into smooth balls.
7. Place on a parchment covered tray and freezer for 15 minutes to harden.
8. Dip the truffles into melted white chocolate.
9. Place the dipped truffles on a parchment covered tray and sprinkle immediately with the extra cookie crumbles before the white chocolate hardens.
10. One the coating is set, store the truffles in the fridge in covered container.

Notes

If you are pressed for time, coat the truffles with powdered sugar instead or dipping them.
