Recipe by Cristina Suarez Krumsick Aside from the fact that making cinnamon rolls usually requires making dough, in all its kneading/rising/resting time-consuming glory, there's another reason we shy away from making these heavenly treats: they're often

Ingredients

60 vanilla wafers
1/3 c. seedless raisins
3 tsp. firmly packed brown sugar
3 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 tbsp. skim milk
1/2 c. milk chocolate

Instructions

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and set aside.
In a food processor, process the cookies until fine crumbs form, about 1 minute.
Add the raisins, brown sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon and process for another 30 seconds.
Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, softened butter, vanilla and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Pour evenly over the vanilla wafer mixture and mix until a dough begins to form, about 30 seconds.
Transfer the dough to a clean bowl.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared pan.
Prepare the chocolate for drizzling. Drizzle each truffle with milk chocolate and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until solid and serve. Looking for more dessert ideas? Check out our homemade chocolate chip cookie recipes, apple pie recipes, and chocolate cake recipes.

Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
