White Chocolate Cookie Ball Truffles

Sometimes life gives you happy little accidents!
Ingredients:
4 or 5 oz white chocolate
1/4 - 1/2 tsp butter
5 ladyfinger biscuits

So I was melting white chocolate in a double boiler for drizzling in another recipe. It had just about melted when I decided I wanted it a little more runny. I added room temperature butter and it all seized up! Big mistake... I should have melted the butter so it would be about the same temperature as the chocolate before adding it. And apparently there is no reversing seized white chocolate.

I wasn't about to throw away all the chocolate. But I had these ladyfingers on the shelf in preparation for an upcoming dessert. I just crumbled some of them into the chocolate and rolled the mixture into balls.

Now, unprepared as I was for making truffles, what was I going to roll them in? I had just run out of cocoa (gotta get to Bulk Barn!) I didn't have enough sprinkles (what's wrong with me?!?!) And I was kind of running out of patience so chopping walnuts wasn't going to happen.

I grabbed a bag of homemade granola.
This'll work! Just rolled them up and let them set on parchment in the fridge a few minutes.

This "recipe" only made 12 cookie ball truffles but you could always accidently seize up more white chocolate, LOL!
To quote Bob Ross "we don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents!"
