Cookie Dough Truffles

My husband loves chocolate chip cookies as well as truffles.  And so, while searching for something to make for him for this past Valentine's day, I stumbled upon a recipe for an incredible offspring of the two.

Cookie Dough and Truffles had a baby, y'all.

That last sentence should give you a clue as to who came up with this artery-clogging, diabetic nightmare of a concoction.  None other than the butter queen herself, Ms. Paula Deen. (Recipe)

Anywho -it's egg free so you can consume it raw.  What does one use as a binder, you might ask?  Well condensed milk  of course!  : O

They were quite delicious, though they should be eaten sparingly unless you want a bellyache (or a diabetic coma).

Honestly, I decided to make something for him for Valentine's Day, because we are on the type of budget that doesn't allow for $150 meals out to celebrate the holiday (and $75 boxes of chocolates).  I chose an acid-free photo box from Hobby Lobby in solid white on sale for $1.00.  I covered it with stickers that I found on sale in the scrapbooking aisle.  Then, filled the box with the two layers of cookie dough truffles.  The papers are actually mini cupcake papers that are decorated for valentine's day.  And I found the sprinkles in the Dollar Spot at Target (who doesn't love the Dollar Spot?!).

He was quite impressed and looooved these truffles.
