Whether you call them truffles, bliss bites or snack balls, these sweet round treats are trending. But why? Because they’re super simple to make and require minimal ingredients!

For example, this dairy-free dessert recipe calls for just four ingredients: crushed cookies, chocolate chips, cocoa powder and vegetable shortening. What could be easier? If you want more variety, dig into your pantry for additional toppings. You can roll a portion of these truffles in shredded coconut, hemp seeds, moringa powder or chopped nuts as well.

Prepare these bites on Sunday to indulge (guilt-free!) during the week, or bring them to your next friendly gathering to share with your loved ones.
