- In the meantime, place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt the white chocolate in the microwave, in 30-second intervals, or use a double boiler and use the water bath method.

- Remove the balls from the freezer. Start by sinking your truffle into the melted chocolate until fully covered, then slide the edge of a fork under the truffle and lift it up. Tap into the edge of the bowl and slide the bottom of the fork into the edge of the bowl to get rid of the excess chocolate. Use a toothpick to slide the truffle out of the fork and into the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the top of the truffle immediately with the remaining cookie crumbs.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes until the chocolate shell is completely set and serve immediately.
