What Are Gingerbread Truffles?


Gingerbread truffles are a type of no-bake dessert, similar to a cake-pop or an edible cookie dough. It’s tough to explain just how amazingly delicious gingerbread balls are, because words simply don’t do them justice. But if I had to put it into words, I’d say gingerbread truffles are a cross between a soft gingersnap and hazelnut lover’s dream. But the best answer for “what are gingerbread truffles”, is that they are simply my holiday present to you. 😂

Health Benefits For Gingerbread Balls


While gingerbread truffles might sound like they’ll put you on your diet’s naughty list, they actually come with some surprising health benefits. Why? Because I’ve kicked these gingerbread balls up a notch by adding youth-activating
Super Youth collagen

If you haven’t heard already, Super Youth collagen contains only premium types of collagen peptides, that work to smooth out and plump your skin, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and firm stretch marks and wrinkles. Collagen is also great for long, healthy hair and nails, and aids in joint pain, to help reduce popping of the knees. 

Super Youth collagen is unflavored, so while you’ll be without a doubt seeing visible “look-younger” results in the mirror, your taste buds will have no idea it’s been added to the recipe! 

Okay, are you ready for this holiday season’s greatest hit? Here is my no-bake recipe for crowd- pleasing gingerbread truffle bites you’ll want to make again, and again, enjoy!
