"All the flavor and decadence of truffles, minus the work. The tedious step of rolling dozens of balls is notably absent. These sliceable, no-bake, dense, rich bites come together in 5 minutes and are pressed into a pan and sliced, rather than rolled, a huge time-saver. They're part fudgy brownie, part chocolate cookie dough, part truffle - all in one. Creamy, very chocolaty, with a touch of hazelnut flavor and every bit as indulgent as their much more labor-intensive counterparts...."
