If you are looking to indulge before the New Year and your health and fitness-related New Year's resolutions kick in, these cheesecake truffles are a wonderfully unhealthy treat. Created by Duke University student Arden Sarner, the recipe could also be easily made into one for cake pops if you simply place the truffles on a stick.
The three-ingredient dessert also uses Pop Tarts, which is likely a staple in your diet if you are a student or just on a budget. To make your own breakfast pastry cheesecake truffles, you will need eight Pop Tarts in any flavor of your choosing, cream cheese and chocolate chips. It also doesn't matter if you go with white chocolate, dark or milk.
