The thing about chocolate is, the more you eat it, the more you want it. Keyword here is MORE.
Like, it starts off all nice and innocent. You grab a chocolate chip, or two, from the little zip bag you store in your purse (for emergencies, of course). Later on in the day, you sit down at your desk and think, it’s the afternoon, why not have a few chocolate-covered pretzels as a reward? Soon thereafter, you’re heading home and thinking about the chocolate sauce you’re gonna be pouring over the requisite, post-dinner ice cream sundae.
Then the next day, in the middle of giving a report about This Month’s Fiscal Responsibility to Boringness, you start drifting off and dreaming that your pointer is actually made of chocolate. (Erik tells me that in this scenario, the bars in this report’s bar graph are represented by bars of chocolate.)
Then, you’re having dreams in Chocolate Technicolor. This should be a thing now, shouldn’t it?
And suddenly, you’re living the life of a chocolate lover. Ya feel me?
We spend our time dreaming, wishing and mysteriously smelling chocolate everywhere we go (this has nothing to do with the chocolate purses we carry).
But wait! How did we go from CT vision and delicious fiscal reports to these chocolate chip cookie dough truffles? Let’s dial it back.
Remember those chocolate chip cookie dough bites I made a few weeks ago? Well, after I made a batch and got my arms all tired from swatting Erik away from the apparently hard-to-resist container of these cookie dough bites, I sat down and had myself a bite. It looked a little like this:
Okay, it looked a LOT like that.
Never having been a cookie dough lover myself, I sat there… not only making Erik jealous, but also slowly realizing that I really, really loved these. And if you’re a fellow chocolate lover yourself, you know where this story is going.
The chocolate light bulb (which is very dark, by the way, but no one’s complaining) went on in my mind. And I realized… Let’s take the chocolate quotient up, like 10,000 notches. ‘Cause, we’re in the habit of dipping everything in chocolate ‘round these parts. Just ask that poor apple that’s still recovering from being coated, then simultaneously stripped of its chocolate coating. It looks a little bit like a deflated basketball… D’aww.
Ahem.
Anyway, the melty, smooth, rich and just heavenly process of coating my chocolate chip cookie dough bites in chocolate was… dream-like. Oh, and let’s just say I was on a sugar-high for weeks afterward.
Yup, still on a sugar high.
And let me tell you, it’s allll worth it. I mean, do you see these?
If you’re still not convinced… let me tell you all about these little chocolate gems. My Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles are:
- rich and deeply satisfying
- made special, just for true chocolate lovers
- Vegan and Gluten Free
- stuffed full of chocolate chips
- wrapped in a thick robe of chocolate (doesn’t that sound nice?)
- and best for those with Chocolate Technicolor vision
- or at least chocolate bar graphs
So go ahead and grab one… or two… or an even dozen of these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles and prepare for all the good feels of chocolate bliss. Aw, yeah.
What are your favorite foods (or things… I’m not here to judge) to dip chocolate in? Cookies? Cake? Maybe even a hamburger bun? Like, woah!
Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter. ❤️

- 1 batch of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
- 1 ½ cups vegan chocolate chips (8-10 oz)
- ¼ teaspoon coconut oil
- Optional
- 2 tablespoons vegan chocolate, chopped, for topping
- Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites. Set aside.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, wax paper or a silicone baking sheet. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate one of two ways: Use the double-boiler method or use the microwave. For the microwave method: add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 20 seconds, remove and stir. Repeat until chocolate is just softened--be careful not to burn it. Stop and stir frequently.
- Dip the cookie dough balls: Roll cookie dough balls in chocolate and drop onto prepared baking sheet. I like to use one spoon and two forks for this step (or you could use a candy dipper). I use the spoon to roll the ball, and the two forks to pick up the truffle and roll off excess chocolate.
- Place baking sheet into the freezer for 15-20 minutes. Remove from freezer and enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
- Store in the freezer for up to 4 weeks.

If you could dip anything in chocolate, what would it be?

I’m fully equipped with chocolate technicolor vision and I do believe that all bar graphs should be chocolate bar graphs. In short, as usual, I’m completely with you. Ya know, on the chocolate train. These look so fantastic, it’s 8 am and all I can think is “I’m pretty sure I have all of these ingredients right now. I bet I could make these quietly so as not to wake my sleeping 4 year old.” If I could dip anything in chocolate… honestly, it’s cliche I know, but I’d have to say strawberries. Chocolate covered strawberries are my happy place. 🙂
Haha. So we’re on the same page then? I’d expect nothing less from you, Steph! 😉 Haha… but the 4 yr old will smell the chocolate!! LOL. Let me know if you do try them! 😉 Oh, I am all for the classics! A chocolate-covered strawberry is just bliss. Thanks Steph! 😉
You mean I’m not the only one that carries chocolate chips in her purse?! After all, it is needed for emergency purposes haha! These truffles look amazing, Demeter! I think about chocolate way too often, so I love the idea of coating your cookie dough truffles in more chocolate. I love the pretty swirls and flavor combo! I know I would NOT be able to resist this gorgeous batch of deliciousness. Pinned! Hope you have a great weekend!
Nope! Haha. I mean, who can think of an emergency that wouldn’t require chocolate? 😉 Thanks so much G! Same to you!
I’m almost ashamed (but not really) to admit that I have more than a few chocolate snacks stashed around my house and at the office. You just never know when you’re gonna need a choco fix! lol I’m definitely going to add these beauties to my stashes now. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Right? Too much yum to be feeling shame, alls I’m sayin’. Let me know how you like them if you do! Thanks Megan! 🙂
I really didn’t think there was a next level for those cookie dough bites, but apparently I was absolutely wrong! These truffles are so stunning!!! Wow!
You know that I’m not that crazy about sweets, I don’t carry chocolate in my purse (you made me laugh again :D), but these truffles made me really crave chocolate right now…So halfway through your post I went to the kitchen and now I’m back with a chocolate bar 😀
The more you see it, the more you want it.
Haha… and this “being wrong” just felt so good, didn’t it? 😉 Thank you so much Evi! I’m always happy about making you laugh. 🙂 And I bet that chocolate bar tasted really good! 😉
Oh my goodness, Demeter! I’ve never thought of carrying chocolate chips in my purse! What a great idea! Now, I do have all kinds of control and not eating sweets when I think I shouldn’t; when I make up my mind that I’m not gonna eat something, then I’m usually pretty good. Howevvvvver, we I get a real craving and can’t hold out any longer, you better watch out and I go for it. Gimme all the chocolate, all the chips, feel me? What a brilliant idea covering these bites of deliciousness with chocolate!! They look unbelievably awesome! Now, I feel a real craving coming on and I want to eat this entire batch. Can you just add this to the list of food I want you to send me, lol. Pinning, of course. Have a yum-tastic chocolate filled weekend, friend. xo
Riiiight? You have to try it! LOL. Pro-tip: don’t put it anywhere near your body heat, bc… melted chocolate disaster. Hahaha. I feel ya, D! Adding it as me speak. Hehe. Thanks for pinning Dawn! Have a great weekend as well. 🙂 xo
What you do is not nice! I want these…and I want them now! I don’t want to wait – but I suppose a little patience in the chocolate department is not a bad thing, especially since it’s just breakfast time! PS) Just kidding! You’re always nice!! <3 These are amazing, my friend!
LOL. I’m so sorry Annie! Yeah, patience and chocolate don’t go too well together, so I’m not judging! Thanks so much Annie!! Also, kid away. If we don’t have our jokes, what do we really have? 😉
I feel ya! Those bites look like little morsels of heaven to me. Perfectly sized, soft bites dipped in chocolate, with more chocolate inside…mmm…Gotta go now, and grab the first piece of chocolate I can find…wish I had a few of those!
Thank you so much Nicoletta. 🙂 Hehe… sending you a big virtual batch. 🙂
Just when you think it can’t get any better, you bring out these beauties. They look so pretty and swirly! It’s so inviting to just grab and eat one.
Thanks so much Natanja. Go ahead, grab one. 😉
Your love of chocolate is like my love of ice cream… the more I have the more I want. But to be fair, I’m sure I’d be a chocoholic if I wasn’t allergic, ya dig? 😉 Anyways, these truffles are fabulous!! While I may not be able to have chocolate, I happen to LOVE cookie dough. Like, LOOOOOOOOOVE. So these little truffles are toets screaming my name. Obviously I’m going to have to tweak the recipe for white chocolate, but I’m game! Your chocolate swirl on the outside of these bodacious balls is EVERYTHING! So fancy! 😉 Pinned! Cheers, sweets and happy almost weekend! xo
O-kaaay? Yeah, don’t even get me started on ice cream. Oh, I would be sending you the biggest chocolate care packages if not for your allergy! Booooo. Cookie dough is what it’s about! 🙂 A white chocolate version of this sounds amazing! Thanks for pinning, dear. Have a great weekend! xoxo
I think all these recent posts are probably responsible for a lot of us dreaming in Chocolate Technicolor and drifting off into ga-ga land. I whimpered a little when I saw cookie dough encased lovingly in crisp chocolate.
Haha. But doesn’t everything look so much prettier (and tastier) this way? 😉 Hehe… whimpering is good, I think. <---It means the chocolate is working!! Thanks Megan! 🙂
Your chocolate chip cookie dough bites were perfect anyway, but covering them in chocolate? Yes please!! These look so scrumptious! 🙂
Haha. Thanks so much Marsha! A dozen for you! 😉
Chocolate on Chocolate! Whats seriously not to love?! These look delicious Demeter, and that perfect swirl is making me just want to dive right through the screen. I am not sure how you got such perfect swirls, but AMAZING!!! Looks like I need to go dip some chocolate chip cookie dough into some chocolate! YUM! 🙂
Right?? 🙂 Now if only I could work more chocolate into this… 😉 Thank so much Amanda! Now I can happily pat myself on the back… Lol. Dip and dip happily, my dear. 🙂
Chocolates and chocolates.. I’m in love with these truffles! Gorgeous!
Thanks Nish! 🙂
From one chocolate lover to another chocolate lover, I have to say this to you…YOU ARE ADDICTED GIRL!!!! I’m starting to think I’ll see you on that TV show “Intervention” any day now. That’s okay ‘cos I’ll be on the show with you and together we can tell everyone how they don’t understand our love for chocolate, as we gather up all the chocolate cookie dough truffles, stuffing them in our pockets and mouths while running out the door. Before this recipe, I really didn’t think your CC cookie dough bites could get any better, but they just did. As I’ve said before, keep on keeping on with the chocolate recipes… 😉
LOL. At least I won’t be addicted to chocolate alone. 😉 OMG, your comment totally made me giggle. Okay, as long as you and I know that the rest of them are wrong! Lol. Thanks Karrie. 🙂
I just love chocolate as much you do, Demeter. Seriously, you are the queen of awesome + delicious + irresistible (vegan + gluten free) chocolate recipes.Love how you have taken cookie dough bites to a next level. These truffles are so mind-blowing my dear! I so want them in my life! Happy weekend my dear! 🙂
Go chocolate lovers! 😉 Thank you so much for your kind words, Anu. Have a happy weekend too! xoxo
Maybe I’m the dip, but I love dipping things in chocolate! It’s such a good feeling. I’m going to have to try these asap….hopefully this weekend when I have a little time. Your pictures are scrumptious!
It is SO a good feeling! I’m right there with ya, girly! 🙂 Let me know how you like them if you do. Have a great weekend!
These look delicious! Love the chocolate coating! Perfect for a healthy snack! Pinned!
Thanks so much Mira! 🙂
OMG I’m drooling! These look amazing! I’ll be dreaming of these instead of paying attention when I’m in my next meeting about the fiscal responsibility of boringness 😛 .. I’d much rather think about these anyway ;P
A napkin for you, dear? 😉 It’s the least I can do! Hehe. Well there’s the way to get through that! 😉 🙂 Thanks Serena. 🙂
WOW I relate to this post so much. My mom and I go through a bag of Ghiradelli semi sweet chocolate chips every few days… oops. I sneak chocolate with me everywhere because I have to have chocolate EVERY DAY! What can I say, I’m chocolate-crazed. 😀
These look AMAZING and I can’t wait to make them!
Oh El, I am right there with you! Those Ghiradelli semisweet chips are sooooo good! Seriously. See, so you know exactly what I mean by the chocolate purse. Lol. Can’t wait to hear what you think of them! 🙂
Wow! These look incredible! I love all things cookie dough!
Thanks Katie! Cookie dough is the best. 🙂
I just finished making these. Please let me just extend a deep chocolate-y heart felt thank you for this recipe. I mean I expected them to be good, but c’mon! These are AH-mazing!
Hi Marisha! I’m over-the-moon happy that you enjoyed these! 🙂 And now let me extend an even chocolate-ier (okay, I’m just making up words now… haha) thanks to you for giving these a shot. I know that there are a lot of yummy-looking recipes out there–so I’m honored that you took the time try mine. 🙂 Enjoy! xo
Ok, so I am making these again. I did let an entire week pass so I am totally above board. Right? 🙂
Yay!! Sooo, so right! I’d say you get a gold medal in self-control. 😉 Enjoy, Marisha. xo
I have 3 questions.
1) Flax doesn’t agree with me at all. Could I use a good peanut or almond butter instead to help bind it?
2) How long will these keep? I’m seeing them as a fun dessert to serve at a party, but I don’t always have time at the last minute to make desserts.
and
3) Will these freeze well?
Hi Alli!
1) Can you do chia? A chia egg would be a much better sub for the flax egg than nut butter. 😉
2) At room temperature, they’ll keep for 1-2 weeks. Best if served within 1 week.
3) I’ve kept mine for 4 weeks in the freezer with good results. However, I think they taste best when frozen for a maximum of 1-2 weeks.
Feeding my cookie and chocolate addiction for a while now. Please continue!
Demeter,
Your Paleo Almond Joy Bars look wonderful, & I’m looking forward to making them (even though I’m not a vegan). Perhaps the best part of your blog, though, is the running commentary that precedes the recipes. It’s a kick! Thanks for a fun read and a drool-inducing recipe. Darnell 🙂
Hi Darnell, thank you so much for bringing a BIG smile to my face this Monday morning. 🙂 One of my biggest goals on this blog is to bring a bit of happiness and brightness into your day (and make you like REALLY hungry lol). Thank you for stopping by and saying hi! Hope you just love the almond joy bars! 🙂
These are amazing!!! Mine did not come out like the picture, but still delish nonetheless.
Thanks so much, Madison! 🙂 These truffles certainly are a bit touchy when it comes to the dipping part. Hehe. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. 🙂
These are AH-mazing!!! It’s completely fine to eat a ton, since they’re vegan and GF, right?
Hehe! Why not? 😉 Enjoy!
