- Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, portion the mixture and place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
- Freeze the truffles for 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt the vanilla almond bark according to the package directions, stirring until smooth. I like to microwave in 1-minute increments, stirring between, until smooth and melted.20 Ounces Vanilla Almond Bark
- Dip each frozen truffle into the melted coating, letting excess drip off, then return to the lined baking sheet. I drop the truffle into the melted chocolate and use a tablespoon to scoop out and place on the waxed paper.
- Allow the coating to set completely before storing or serving.

Optional Finishing Touches
- Transfer any remaining melted coating to a piping bag or zip-top bag, snip the tip, and drizzle over the truffles.
- Set aside 1 tablespoon of cookie crumbs before mixing and sprinkle over the truffles for a decorative topping.
Tips for Success
Use softened cream cheese for the smoothest filling—cold cream cheese can leave lumps. If the mixture feels too soft to scoop, chill it for 10–15 minutes before portioning. Freezing the truffles before dipping makes coating them much easier and neater. Work in small batches when dipping so the truffles stay firm.Nutrition

Variations & Substitutions
- Use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate instead of almond bark.
