You read that right, kids. These are SKINNY truffles. It's seems to be an oxymoron , I know, but I am tellin' the truth. They are also:
I almost hate to tell you what's inside of these pretty little things. I wish I could just feed them to you and watch your eyes get wide as I tell you they're healthy. But since I can't do that, I guess I will have to tell you how to make them for yourselves.
They are full of fiber and protein, and are coated in delicious dark chocolate (antioxidants, people!). Just don't write these off after reading the ingredients. They are GOOD and even kid approved, so try them, k?

Skinny Caramel Truffles
by: Back For Seconds
Makes about 25 small truffles
- 1 cup Fiber 1 cereal (or similar)
- 4 oz low fat cream cheese
- 2 Tbs brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp caramel extract
- 8 oz dark chocolate
In a food processor grind cereal finely. Add cream cheese, brown sugar, and caramel extract and pulse until it all comes together. Roll into bite sized balls (be sure to keep them small) and set on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Melt chocolate until smooth, thinning with a bit of coconut oil if needed. Dunk the frozen truffles in the chocolate and lift out with a fork, tapping it gently to smooth. Immediately add sprinkles if desired. Store in the refrigerator but let come to room temp before eating. Enjoy!

Wow, skinny caramel truffles coated in chocolate? I thought I'd never ever dream of something this badass. And of course, if it has sprinkles on top, you KNOW I'm game!
These look good, good, good!!! I love that they are kind of healthy. That means I could eat twice as much =o)
These sound delish! love that they are skinny!

Hi there! I found you on the Wednesday Blog Hop and am now a new follower of your lovely blog. I'd love a follow back at sugarplumsandlollipops.blogspot.com
You wouldn't think you'd hear the words "skinny" and "truffle" in the same sentence! But thank heavens! These look great! Love that they are made from Fiber 1 cereal, that is brilliant!
MY kind of recipe - PINNNING! Yum-oooooo!!!
Wow, these look so wonderful. I love a skinny dessert, especially one with caramel flavor! Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday this week. I can't wait to see what you link up next. Have a great weekend.

this may make me sound like an old woman but I actually LOVE fiber one. Seriously. It's SO good lol. I've never baked or "no-baked" with it though! I love these skinny mini little guys! Stephanie, you are SO creative!
Oh My!! Yes, I'm definitely going to make these soon! Thank you for sharing on Thursday's Treasures Week 42. I hope to see you again each week. <3 and hugs! http://www.recipesformyboys.com/2012/07/thursdays-treasures-week-42.html
I love using Fiber One in recipes--people never have a clue! =) We make a really yummy/healthy faux buffalo chicken "wing" that is coated with Fiber One, and it is delicious! I never thought of putting it in a filling like this, what a great idea! Now I can eat my truffles guilt-free!
oh, wow! can't believe they are skinny! awesome! stopping by via the grant life!
Interesting recipe - I've never seen another like this. They look tasty - I think I'll give it a try. Visiting from Piece o Cake link up - have a great weekend :)
I never would have thought to use Fiber 1 cereal in a truffle! I'm making these tomorrow.

These look so tasty. I love truffles.
Amazing! I don't know what Fibre cereal is... but I'm hoping it's simmilar to Saltana Bran or some such. I'm about to start hosting a Mother's group for mum's with little babies (there are lots on our block) so I've been looking for little nibbles that I can set out. Thanks for the recipe! :)
they look delicious - but not super skinny!
I found this on Stone Gable's On the Menu Monday. I have linked in a fried chicken dish that you don't want to look at if you are dieting! Have a nice week.
Oh my god! These look amazing!

Oh, my. What a fantastic idea!
This looks amazing - and I can't wait to try it. I love truffles, and love that these are a skinny version. Hopping over from Whatcha Whipped Up tonight; hope you'll swing by SalmonAtSeven.com and say hi soon! :)
The word 'skinny' caught my attention while over at the trendy treehouse. These look yummy.

I would never have guessed the fiber cereal. Good call! I really want to try this!
Ok, first your cookie dough dip and now this. I'd say you're taking all the fun out of dessert but with these recipes, I can eat more! I wonder if I could use Special K for these, that's the closest I'd be able to get to a fiber cereal. I think I'll be finding out soon! Thanks for sharing.
These look amazing! I can't wait to see more of your delicious recipes! Your truffles are a feature this week!
