Chocolate Covered Strawberry Truffles
Is it summer yet? Not to whine, but… ok, I’m whining. About the weather. I mean seriously, the rain has GOT TO STOP. Yesterday I didn’t get rained on, but it was hot and humid (70 degrees with 95% humidity at around 10am to be exact!)
After coming home and feeling sticky from the weather, I wanted to make a cool refreshing treat for dessert. Luckily, I had pulled out the last of our frozen strawberries in the morning. I was originally planning to just snack on them or throw them on top of some ice cream. But instead, I decided to turn them into chocolate covered strawberry truffles..
I was so glad to have these freshly picked strawberries in the freezer. After they had been washed and dried completely, I laid them out in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Once they had completely frozen, I popped them into a ziplock bag.
We have been using them up throughout the year and I finally used the last of them for these truffles. These chocolate covered strawberry truffles really hit the spot and reminded me that summer (and strawberry season!) is right around the corner.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Truffles
Yield: 12
Ingredients:
8-10 thawed frozen whole strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup flour

1/3 cup white chocolate chips
Several drops of pink gel food coloring

WOW total sugar coma! I love that it’s a PB cookie with a whole PB cup put into it!! Such a fun idea 🙂
and peanut butter
and chocolate
and aMrshmallows
süpppppeer 🙂
Considering it’s not even 10am and I’ve just polished off my 4th cheesecake brownie, I’d better stay as far away from these cookies as possible. They look phenomenal.
Looks good. I bet they’d be super festive looking with the holiday m&ms.
Happy Friday!

These look sugary and delicious 🙂 I tend to find mini M&M’s either in the check out lane or at Christmas I find them over where they have little stocking stuffer candy.
I have the sugar shakes just thinking about these 🙂 They are waaaay too cute!
I’d love that sugar party in my mouth…wow!
My kiddos would be all over this. All that candy PLUS a cookie?! They’d love it! LOL
Oh – the mini m&ms? I can usu. only find them in the check-out aisles in the small tubes. I haven’t seen them in bags in a long time.
I’ll have to look up by the checkout next time I need mini M&Ms. I was definitely looking for a bag…
OMG your pictures are TDF
The only place I can find M&M minis now is in the bulk candy aisle. I haven’t seen them in any sort of packaging in ages.
“super sugar overload cookies” sound good to me! 🙂 Thanks for linking!
Very Clever!
Wow those look great, I’ll have to try them. I love your photography!
