BACON + CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES? Meet your perfect holiday truffle.

ONTARIO BACON CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE TRUFFLES

Cooking instructions 1 Crush two dozen cookies into crumbs into a mixing bowl.

Yield: 20-24 pieces Prep: 25 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes

4 While cookie balls are freezing, place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe dish. Micro- wave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until creamy and lump free. 5 Dip balls into chocolate with a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. 6 Place truffles back onto cookie sheet and immediately sprinkle with a generous pinch of chopped bacon. Once all truffles have been coated, place in fridge to allow chocolate to set. Store truffles refrigerated in an airtight container.

2 Add 6 slices of finely chopped ba- con and cream cheese. Mix together until a ball of cookie dough forms. If dough feels dry, add 1 Tbsp of cream cheese until desired consistency is achieved. 3 Roll into 2-inch balls. Place rolled cookie balls onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Ingredients 20-24 chocolate chip cookies (homemade or store-bought) 4 oz cream cheese, at room tempera- ture 1 Tbsp coconut oil 8 slices Ontario bacon , cooked, drained, finely chopped and divided 2 cups chocolate chips, melted
