Step 1

Warm your milk up in a microwave safe container until it reaches at least 140 degrees. It can be hotter than this, just don’t let it boil. It took me about 3 minutes in the microwave.

Step 2

Add your spices and 1 cup of grape nuts to the steamed milk. Stir and let soak for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Strain the milk from the grape nuts, pressing down firmly to remove any excess moisture. It will make a wet sand like dough.

Step 4

With a hand mixer or in a stand mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth.

Step 5

Add in your grape nuts and sugar. Mix well. Make sure to scrape the bowl a couple times so everything is fully incorporated.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon, scoop out balls of the mixture and place on a lined cookie sheet. You don’t need to shape them at this point.

Step 7

Place in your freezer for at least 30 minutes, ideally an hour.

Step 8

Once the time is up, remove the cookie sheet from the freezer.

Step 9

Place your remaining 1/2 c of grape nuts into a small bowl. Individually dip the balls in and roll around to coat. You want full coverage here. Roll them in your hands until they are fully shaped.

Step 10

Place the balls back onto the lined cookie sheet and back into the freezer for 15 more minutes.

Step 11

Melt your almond bark cubes in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until fully melted. This took me about 1:30. Mix until smooth.

Step 12

Using a fork to rest the ball on, spoon chocolate over the ball repeatedly until fully coated. Tap the fork to the side of your bowl gently to remove any excess chocolate.

Step 13

Place the truffles back onto the lined cookie sheet to let set up at room temperature. This should only take a minute or so.

Step 14

Decorate with any remaining chocolate as a drizzle and sprinkle on more grape nuts if desired.
