The chocolate coating. One of the biggest distinguishing factors in my mind between truffle and ball o’ bliss is the coating. I mean can a truffle really be too rich? Actually it probably can, please don’t take that as a challenge! So let’s bump that up a bit… extra rich fudgy flavor here we come! But these are not bliss balls, these are truffles. And no loss of fudgy-ness either like flour can sometimes lead to.Įxtra cacao. In a typical bliss ball recipe of this size, I would probably use about 1/4 cup of cacao (or cocoa) powder. And it worked perfectly! The cereal grinds up super fine so no tell-tale chunks, but it still makes for a roll-able truffle center. Since I already planned on making these crunch truffles with rice crispy cereal on the outside, for simplicity I tried just using the rice crispy cereal for the center too. Instead of nuts, I used something that is going to sound even more health-dorky but once it runs through the food processor I promise no one will guess: cereal. Nuts on the inside– that’s a bliss ball, my friend. Nuts on the outside– truffle appropriate.
Nuts, I love you and all, but your little nubbly chunks hanging out inside my truffles would be a dead giveaway of the truffles’ secretly healthy identity. Now onto the healthy but decadent truffle tips I mentioned… Like a Crunch bar made healthier, rounder, and with that luscious truffle center! Inspired by one of my favorite chocolate candy bars, and my beaming baking bestie who just recently proved that rice crispy crunchy things can be very Christmas festive, these are not just truffles but Rice Crispy Crunch Truffles. But I have my ways of making them rich and decadent like a truffle, and still healthy too! These truffles follow more closely the ingredient style of a bliss ball. One is usually made of dried fruit and nuts, the other of chocolate and heavy cream. Now I can’t ignore the technical differences between truffles and bliss balls. The Oreo part knocks the classy right out of the truffle (and the cookie-deliciousness right in, of course!) But I digress. A treat of few bites, but much decadence.Įxcept Oreo truffles. Not afraid to surprise you with unexpected nut or fruit additions. That deep, delicious usually-dairy-filled center concealed under a delicate layer of dark chocolate. Rich and enticing.
A little ball of zen.Īnd does anyone really know the technical difference between these two? Nah.īut then there is the truffle–the classiest of the spherical snack family if you ask me. Now it’s sweet snack cousin the bliss ball conjures up thoughts of a superfood-filled, fruit-flavored treat that would fit in perfectly next to acai bowls and matcha lattes on an organic cafe menu. It doesn’t take it’s snack self too seriously. The name energy bite conjures up thoughts of a totally healthy treat fit for five-year-old fingers or a mid-hike trail-side snack alongside a handful of granola. Let’s talk spherical snacking semantics for a moment… So I think yes, they are holiday perfect! They are much easier than cutting out cookies or preparing pies. I’m not sure if truffles technically qualify as a holiday dessert or not? They are candy-like but with a little extra class. These Rice Crispy Crunch Truffles are vegan, simple to make, and healthier than they look!
Chewy meet crispy meets so very chocolatey in one decadent dessert bite.
