Prep Time15 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

For the Truffles:

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 cup Yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup White sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Sprinkles plus more for coating
  • 16 ounces Almond bark or vanilla flavored coating (8 squares)
  • 4 tablespoons Yellow cake mix (for coating)

Instructions

Preparation Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract and salt, ensuring they’re well combined.
  • Gradually add the flour and yellow cake mix to the mixture. Stir until everything is well blended. If the dough feels too crumbly, add 3-4 tablespoons of milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  • Gently fold in the sprinkles, giving your truffles a pop of color and fun.
  • Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper.
  • Refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are firm.
  • While the truffles are chilling, melt the almond bark or vanilla flavored coating in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  • Once the truffles are firm, dip each one into the melted coating, covering it completely. Roll the coated truffles in the remaining sprinkles or the 4 tablespoons of yellow cake mix for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Place the coated truffles back on the baking sheet and let them set until the coating hardens.
