Andes Mint Cookie Dough Truffles


Don't these look so tasty? Yep, they are! I had been thinking about making my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles for the holidays, and spruced them up a little for the season!

I am in love with these. No really. My kids would even say, "then why don't you marry them."


Okay, so it's a different kind of love. More like, "I just went to the gym and I deserve these" kind of love.


You deserve them too! It's the holidays! Enjoy!
