If you’ve got a party to make treats for, it's so easy to whip up a batch of these little truffles of cake covered in chocolate. Decorate them accordingly with little shamrock sprinkles or feel free to customize these depending on whatever holiday it is!
Ingredients:
For the truffles:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup white cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
3-4 tablespoons milk
5-6 drops, green food coloring
2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles
For the coating:
16 ounces white chocolate coating
Holiday sprinkles
Fork (for dipping)
Directions:
# For the truffles, beat together butter and sugar using an electric mixer until combined.
# Add cake mix, flour, salt, peppermint extract and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
# Add 3–4 tablespoons of milk if needed to make a dough consistency. Mix in sprinkles by hand.
# Roll dough into one-inch balls and place on parchment or wax paper on a cookie sheet.
# Chill balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
# For the coating, while dough balls are chilling, melt chocolate coating in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted.
# Stir between intervals. Using a fork, dip truffles into melted chocolate and gently twirl or tap to remove excess coating.
# Place truffle back on cookie sheet and top with sprinkles. Repeat with remaining balls until finished.
# Chill truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
