I love treat recipes that I can make in bulk and have in my freezer for a quick-to-grab treat. I love enjoying just a couple here and there as a treat option when I am doing the Bikini Body Program. They are the perfect treat option without over indulging.
Some of my favorite recipes that I have created are balls, bites and truffles that are made in the freezer, simple, healthy and delicious.
These Chocolate Covered Cookie Dough Balls are lower in fat and higher in fiber than other variations I have created in the past. You can also make these sugar free if you choose.
Next time you are craving cookie dough I highly recommend making these chocolate covered delicious bites.
