Are you ready for a truffle recipe like no other? This amazing snickers truffles recipe by our blog contributor Annette will have you diving into the kitchen!
Snickers, cream cheese, vanilla extract, biscuits, butter and chocolate chips. Would you have any idea what you could do with these ingredients? Don’t think too hard.
Mmmm Snickers Cheesecake Truffles. Being the owner of Cheeky Cheesecakes of course I love cheesecakes, so I thought why not combine it with one of my favorite chocolates the Snickers bar.
For something quick try this yummy snickers truffles recipe.
This snickers truffles recipe is so easy to prepare, that all in all it should take you about 15 minutes.
But, you have to count in that the mix has to get cold and harden in the fridge for a few hours. While that’s happening eat some extra snickers they really satisfy!
I hope you’re ready to get your hands dirty, because this recipe really works best with some serious hands on action. So wash ‘em well.
How To Make Snickers Truffles From Scratch
Step 1: Start by placing butter and 12 Snickers fun size bars into a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Be sure to keep the heat low to allow time for sufficient melting without scorching the snickers.
By the time you complete the rest of the recipe, the snickers will have melted.
Step 2: Place the Nice biscuits into a large bag. Push out the air and seal the bag.
Use a rolling pin or your preferred crushing object. Crush biscuits to fine crumbs.
Tip: If you don’t have nice biscuits where you live you can substitute for any sweet plain biscuit.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, biscuits and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to create a uniform truffle dough.
Step 4: Add the melted Snickers and stir to combine.
Step 5: Chop the second bag Snickers fun size bars into quarters. (Keeping 7 aside).
Step 6: Mix the chopped Snickers into the truffle dough.
Step 7: Refrigerate the dough for a few minutes whilst you prepare the snickers truffle coating.
Step 8: Slice 7 snickers fun size left aside into slices (thirds).
Step 9: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and set aside.
Step 10: To make the truffles themselves, use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion out the cake into generous balls. Then use your specialized cake-ball-rounding-baking instrument to form them into perfect circles.
Just kidding! We’re using our hands again!
Step 11: Roll the cake balls between your hands to get them fairly round, then place them on a foil or waxed paper. This allowed me to shape 21 truffle centers, 20 of which actually survived to be dipped.
How Long Do Homemade Truffles Last?
What is even more important is that not one of the truffles I made stayed around long. My girls couldn’t wait to try them, once they did it didn’t take long for them to disappear. They definitely didn’t last long.
The last couple left were demolished by my husband “how good are these” he said while munching on them
Leave them on display and uncovered at your party. Just chill again if they get to room temp. But I bet they won’t last long enough for that.
However, if you are not eating them right away, you can store these truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
And of course, you can use this recipe as a jumping-off point. Experiment with different cake flavors, and different toppings.
This is a super-flexible, super-easy recipe.

- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 (12 oz bag) Milk chocolate chips
- 1 - 2 teaspoons sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Place butter and 25 Snickers bites into a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Be sure to keep the heat low to allow time for sufficient melting without scorching the bars. By the time you complete the rest of the recipe, the snickers will have melted.
- Place the Nice biscuits into a large ziptop bag. Push out the air and seal the bag.

- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, biscuits ,and vanilla paste.

- Chop the rest of the Snickers Bites remaining in the 7 oz bag you took the first 25 from. Chop them into quarters.

- Refrigerate the dough for a few minutes, while you prepare to make the truffle coating.
- Open the second bag of Snickers Bites and slice 7 of the bites into slices.
- Put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and set aside.
- Remove truffle dough from the refrigerator and form into uniformly-sized balls. Roll the cake balls between your hands to get them fairly round, then place them on a foil or waxed paper. This will shape 21 truffle centers.
- Place a sheet of parchment on a tray.
- Arrange the truffle balls on the tray and place in the freezer or refrigerator, to chill, while you melt the chocolate chips.
- Melt the chocolate chips in your microwave. Use full power for 1 minute and 45 seconds to get the right consistency for dipping the truffles. Check the chips every 15 seconds and stir until you get a nice creamy dip.
- Remove the truffle centers from the fridge and one-by-one, use a fork to dip and turn them in the chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to fall through the tines of the fork.

Hi what are nice biscuits? Sorry, where can i find them?
Nice biscuits are basically plain vanillary biscuits covered with sugar sprinkles. I know they sell them in Oz and the Uk, but not sure about the rest of the world. If nice biscuits arn’t available where you are, any plain biscuits would do the trick I’m sure 🙂
What are Nice biscuits! I have never heard of them…can I substitute something else for them?
Hi Darlene. Nice biscuits are plain biscuits with a few sprinkles of sugar on the top. If you can’t get them where you are, then any kind of sweet plain biscuit would do the trick 🙂
What are Nice crackers?
Nice crackers are simply plain biscuits with little sprinkles of sugar on them. Any plain biscuits would also work well 🙂
It a Nice Biscuit just a plain vanilla style cookie?
Hi Mary.
A nice biscuit is basically a vanilla biscuit with a sprinkle of sugar on the top. So yes…really any vanilla biscuit would do the trick 😀
