Nice Easter Egg Cookie Dough Truffles

This is a sponsored post service yesteryear Challenge Butter, but the text as well as opinions are all mine. Thank you lot for supporting brands that construct possible!

Easter is my favorite holiday. I dear what it represents -- the resurrection, the empty tomb as well as the hope of novel life. Growing upward I loved getting together alongside my cousins as well as going on Easter egg hunts. And I dear sitting closed to the tabular array for a large identify unit of measurement dinner alongside ham as well as cheesy potatoes as well as plenty of desserts. Dessert was ever the most of import utilization of our identify unit of measurement dinners!

I dear making festive Easter desserts! Usually I construct carrot cake, but the yesteryear 2 years I've decided to mix things up. Last twelvemonth I made these adorable Coconut Macaroon Easter Egg Nests, as well as this twelvemonth I made super indulgent cookie dough truffles!

I decided to construct truffles mainly because I wanted to cast them into eggs as well as decorate them. The commencement fourth dimension I made them, I dipped the eggs inward white chocolate as well as and thus decorated them using a pastry handbag alongside white chocolate that I had dyed alongside nutrient coloring. And that was a lot of work. So the adjacent fourth dimension I made them, I dipped them into white chocolate that I had already colored alongside nutrient coloring. As you lot tin run across inward the pictures, I used a piffling chip of carmine coloring to plough the eggs pink. That was much easier! 

If you're non a fan of nutrient coloring, you lot tin plough over the truffles white as well as decorate them alongside sprinkles! Or if you lot prefer nighttime or milk chocolate, become ahead as well as dip the eggs inward that! 

Also, of import reminder, the cookie dough inward this recipe is non cooked, thus you lot cannot utilization simply whatever onetime cookie dough. As you lot tin run across below, in that place is no egg inward the recipe. That is of import because eating cookie dough alongside raw eggs tin give you lot salmonella as well as no i wants to teach sick, particularly non on Easter!
