Gingerbread
I love gingerbread anything. It’s one of my favorite flavors from the holidays. There is nothing quite like the smell and taste of gingerbread. It’s just so cozy and totally feels like Christmas to me.
Gluten-free gingerbread cookies can be hard to find, so I used one of my favorite cookies, Schär’s Honeygrams. Their Honeygrams are so delicious. They have a sweet honey taste and a satisfying crunch. They made a perfect “gingerbread” cookie for these white chocolate truffles!
I absolutely love Schär gluten-free products, and they make some of my family’s favorite gluten-free products! They have everything from certified gluten-free bread, to rolls, pizza crust, cookies, crackers, and snacks.
I also love that I am able to find my favorite Schär products at my local Walmart. You can also use their store finder to see where you can find their products near you.

- Place one package of Schär Honeygrams into a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. You can also crush it by hand by adding the Honeygrams into a storage bag and crushing with your hands or a rolling pin. Save one tablespoon for decorating the truffles. (photo 1)
- Add the vegetable oil to the white chocolate chips in a medium saucepan and melt over low heat, stirring constantly; remove from heat. You can also do this in the microwave. Heat the chocolate chips and oil at 1-minute increments and stir after each minute until completely melted and smooth. (photo 2)

Pro-Tip
I learned a great trick from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. When dipping the gingerbread balls into the melted white chocolate, use a fork to remove the ball and then slide the ball off the fork with a knife. You can watch the awesome tutorial video from Mel here.
