Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 ounces Low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate, melted
- 0.25 cup Crushed nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and cocoa powder until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, beat the low-fat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft and fluffy.
Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the cream cheese and continue beating until fully incorporated.
Add the dry mixture of graham cracker crumbs and cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture, and blend until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball using your hands.
If desired, roll the balls in crushed nuts for added texture and flavor.
Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted dark chocolate until fully coated, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Once all balls are coated, refrigerate the bon bons for at least 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor; store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
