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. ❤️

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles (Vegan, Gluten Free)
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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!
Notes
- 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.

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 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
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. 😉
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. 🙂
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? 😉
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
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! 😉
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! 🙂
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 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! 😉
