No Bake Snickerdoodle Truffles (Vegan)

Put these No Bake Snickerdoodle Truffles on your must make list!  When I was shopping at Whole Foods the other day, they were giving out samples of these vegan snickerdoodle truffles.

While they were very delicious, the ingredients were definitely not the healthiest.  So when I got home, I set out to make my own version and I think they came out pretty good.

If you love truffles, you must also check out these dark chocolate raspberry truffles, and these pecan caramel truffles.
