The strawberry syrup gives them a hint of berry flavor and a sweet finish for a perfect dessert for any occasion. Package these little gems up in a decorative tin or box for the perfect gift for any girlie-girl who absolutely loves pink everything.

Ingredients

• 1 (19.1-ounce) package vanilla wafer sandwich cookies or Golden Oreos, crushed
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons strawberry syrup
• 1 (16-ounce) package CandiQuik White or Charadelli vanilla baking chips.
• 2 drops red food coloring

Preparation

Step 1

Pulse cookies in a food processor until crumbled or put in a plastic bag and hammer until crumbled completely. Add cream cheese and strawberry syrup and blend until smooth. Place mixture in freezer for about 2 hours or until firm.

Using hands, roll into balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter each. Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes or until firm.

Melt white chocolate according to package instructions or use a double broiler. Using a fork, dip each ball in white chocolate, spooning over the top to completely coat. Place on wax paper to allow chocolate to harden. Add 2 drops of red food coloring to remaining white chocolate and combine. (Or you can use the Wilson candy melts).

Using a fork or icing bag, drizzle pink chocolate over truffles. Enjoy.
