Circus Animal Cookie Balls

You’ll be surprised how EASY Circus Animal Cookie Balls are to make! Once the cookie dough is formed, I just used a cookie scoop (I used a 1 tablespoon scoop) to make each truffle.

You’ll also need to put the truffles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before you dip them in Almond Bark. (You can even leave them in the refrigerator, or freezer, overnight if needed before you dip them!)

How to make Easy Circus Animal Cookie Truffles

First, crush the Circus Animal Cookies (9 ounce bag) into crumbs using a food processor. (Keep about 3 cookies for garnishing at the end.)

Next, add 6 ounces of cream cheese to the processor and mix until it turns into a sticky dough ball.

A baking sheet lined with parchment paper holds pink cookie dough balls. Nearby are frosted animal cookies and opened packets of Mother's Circus Animal cookies.

Now, use the cookie scoop to create cookie dough balls (or truffles) and space them out on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper.

Once you have made all the truffle balls, place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Once the truffle balls are chilled, melt 16 ounces of white almond bark in a melting pot. (Here is a great video on how to use a melting pot!)

You can also melt the Almond Bark in the microwave in 30 second increments until smooth.

A tray of confectionery balls covered in a white coating is displayed on parchment paper, next to a bowl of the remaining white coating mix and some decorated animal-shaped cookies.

Now you’re going to dip each truffle ball into the melted Almond Bark to coat them completely.

Then place the chocolate coated truffle balls back on the parchment paper.

Using the remaining 2 ounces of Almond Bark, you’re going to melt that (in the microwave again) and then add 6-8 drops of pink food coloring. Mix until combined.

Finally, drizzle the melted pink chocolate over each truffle ball. Then crush the remaining Circus Animal Cookies and sprinkle them on top! 

Serve once all the chocolate has set and ENJOY!
