Description
These healthy truffles are my variation of a healthy Oreo ball. They taste amazing right out of the freezer, and don't even need to be coated in chocolate if you want to save even more calories. They're even better when made with dutch process cocoa instead of natural cocoa, giving it more of that classic Oreo taste.
