Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.33 cup Cooked crispy bacon, finely chopped
- 10 ounces White chocolate chips or coating chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for thinning chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Maple sugar or sprinkles
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the heat-treated all-purpose flour and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until the dough comes together. The texture should resemble classic cookie dough.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and finely chopped cooked bacon, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion the dough into bite-sized balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
While the dough chills, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each heating until smooth. Stir in vegetable oil to thin the chocolate for easy dipping.
Using a fork or dipping tool, fully coat each chilled dough ball in melted white chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle maple sugar or decorative sprinkles on top of the truffles while the chocolate is still wet.
Return the coated truffles to the refrigerator to set for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
Transfer the finished truffles to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
