  • Customizable: You can easily adjust the ingredients to suit your taste or dietary needs.

Ingredients Notes

To make these monster Cookie Dough Truffles, you will need staple baking ingredients like flour, butter, and sugar, along with M&Ms, chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Make sure to use heat-treated flour for safety. For a nut-free version, you can substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. Consider using mini M&Ms for a more evenly distributed, colorful appearance and mini chocolate chips for easier binding.

Recipe Steps

Step 1

Begin by creaming the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. This step ensures a smooth texture for your dough.

Step 2

Add in the Peanut Butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until fully incorporated. This adds a rich flavor to the dough.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour and salt. Mix until the dough forms; it should be stiff yet pliable.

Step 4

Fold in the M&Ms and chocolate chips. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough for a consistent bite.

Step 5

Using a small cookie scoop, form dough balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to set.

Storage Options

These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer and then transfer to a sealed bag. Allow frozen truffles to thaw in the fridge before serving.

Variations & Substitutions

For a healthier version, consider using almond flour and coconut sugar. To cater to chocolate lovers, dip the truffles in melted chocolate for a decadent coating. If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, coconut oil can replace butter, and almond milk makes an excellent substitute for regular milk.

Serving Suggestions

These truffles are perfect for parties, festive gatherings, or even as an after-dinner treat. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla Ice Cream, or serve them alongside a hot cup of coffee or cocoa for a cozy, delightful experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the dough in advance? Yes, the dough can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Just make sure to give it a little time at room temperature before rolling it into balls if it becomes too firm.

Is it safe to eat raw flour? It’s recommended to use heat-treated flour to ensure safety. You can quickly heat-treat flour at home by baking it at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.

What can I use instead of Peanut Butter? If you have nut allergies, consider using sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter. Both provide a similar creamy texture and a subtle flavor that won’t overpower the other ingredients.
