Christmas Truffles
Description
These Christmas Truffles begin by combining dry ingredients like white cake mix, flour, and sugar, with melted butter, milk, vanilla, and sprinkles to form a moist dough capable of holding its shape. After chilling to firm the mixture, it is shaped into balls and coated in melted white chocolate or vanilla almond bark using a fork to ensure an even coat. Additional sprinkles on top add festive color and a slight crunch.
The finished truffles present a smooth white chocolate exterior encasing a moist, sweet, and slightly crumbly cake center with bursts of sprinkles adding holiday flair. They are the size of bite-sized sweets and can be served alongside coffee or as part of a dessert spread during festive occasions.
A practical tip for safety is to toast the flour or cake mix briefly in the oven to eliminate potential bacteria from raw flour. This toasting develops a mild nutty flavor without impacting the truffle texture. The truffles can be refrigerated until firm and kept chilled before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white cake mix
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon Sprinkles + more for decoration, Christmas
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips or vanilla almond bark
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk cake mix, flour, and sugar. Stir in melted butter, vanilla, milk, and sprinkles. The mixture should be moist and be able to hold its shape easily when formed.
- Using a cookie scoop, form mixture into even balls and refrigerate 20-30 minutes.
- In the meantime, melt chocolate in a double boiler or slowly in the microwave. Using a fork, drop one of the cake batter truffles into the chocolate and roll around to coat. Tap off the excess gently and transfer to a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
- Top with more sprinkles, if desired.
Notes
- Toast the flour or cake mix at 350°F for 5 minutes to make the truffles safe from bacteria in raw flour.
- Keep truffles refrigerated until firm before dipping in chocolate for easier handling.
