Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Truffles
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed gingerbread cookies, softened cream cheese, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  2. Scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm enough to coat.
  4. Melt white chocolate chips or wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until glossy.
  5. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing back on the tray.
  6. Sprinkle crushed gingerbread or cinnamon sugar on top of each truffle while the chocolate is still wet.
  7. Once the chocolate has set, transfer truffles to an airtight container for storage.
