Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by crushing your Keebler shortbread cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin; combine the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Once the dough is ready, roll it into balls about 2-3 tablespoons in size and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, add coconut flakes and toast them until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream and caramels. Stir until melted and smooth, then mix in cooled toasted coconut.
  5. Dip each frozen truffle ball into the warm caramel-coconut mixture, ensuring they are coated. Return to the baking sheet.
  6. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle it over each caramel-coated truffle. Let set for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Chill the finished truffles in the refrigerator for an additional 15 minutes before serving.
