No-Fuss Truffles Recipe

1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

1-1/4 cups ground toasted almonds, graham cracker crumbs or finely chopped salted peanuts

Directions

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chips; stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, stirring several times.

Fold in whipped topping. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Freeze for 1-1/2 hours or until firm.

Shape into balls; roll in almonds, crumbs or peanuts. Refrigerate or freeze in an airtight container. If frozen, remove from the freezer 30 minutes before serving. Yield: about 4-1/2 dozen.
