1. In a mixing bowl, stir sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder until smooth. Add more or less cocoa depending on how dark you want the chocolate flavor.
2. Add crushed cookies and mix until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
3. Chill mixture for 15–20 minutes if needed to firm up.
4. Roll mixture into small balls using clean hands.
5. Roll truffles in crushed nuts, sprinkles, coconut, or cocoa powder if desired.
6. Chill briefly before serving for best texture.

Kid-Friendly Tips

• Kids can measure, stir, and roll the truffles
• No heat required — perfect for young chefs
• Let kids choose their own coatings
• Use gloves to keep hands clean and less sticky

Cookie Substitution Guide

Goya Maria cookies are lightly sweet vanilla tea biscuits popular in Latin American cooking. If unavailable, substitute with vanilla wafers, graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or plain butter cookies for the same texture and flavor.

Variation Ideas

• Add a drop of vanilla extract
• Roll in shredded coconut
• Dip in melted chocolate for a coated truffle
• Add cinnamon for a Mexican chocolate flavor

Notes

If mixture is too soft to roll, chill for a few more minutes. Store truffles in the refrigerator until serving.
