Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup molasses
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil or butter (for melting chocolate)
- Optional: sprinkles, crushed gingerbread cookies, or cocoa powder for coating
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Gingerbread Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, molasses, powdered sugar, and spices. Mix until a sticky, dough-like mixture forms.
Step 2: Shape the Truffles
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray. Chill in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes until firm.
Step 3: Coat in Chocolate
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil or butter in a microwave or double boiler. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on parchment paper.
Step 4: Chill & Decorate
Refrigerate for another 15–20 minutes until chocolate sets. Decorate with sprinkles, crushed cookies, or dust with cocoa powder if desired.
Note
Chilling the truffles before dipping helps them hold their shape and gives a smooth, professional finish.
