Ingredients

1 pound gingersnap cookies
10 oz. cream cheese - softened
1 teaspoon cinnamon
10 oz. melting chocolate

Instructions

In a food processor, pulse the gingersnap cookies until they are in crumb form. Pour them into a mixing bowl. Reserve about 1/4 cup for sprinkling on top.
1 pound gingersnap cookies
Add the softened cream cheese and cinnamon. Use a hand mixer to blend everything together until very well combined.
10 oz. cream cheese, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Form the mixture into approximately 24 balls, and place in the refrigerator for about an hour to cool. This will help in the dipping process.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 50% power until creamy. Check frequently to avoid burning.
Carefully dip the gingerbread balls into the chocolate, shaking off excess. Place on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper. Sprinkle a bit of the reserved gingerbread crumbs on top immediately after dipping each one.
10 oz. melting chocolate
Place in the refrigerator or freezer to set the chocolate.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

STORE - Store the gingerbread truffles in the refrigerator or freezer, for best results. You can also store them at room temperature during the cooler months.
