Ingredients
  

Truffles
  • 1 9×13 cooked red velvet cake crumbled, I used Duncan Hines cake mix
  • 1 container cream cheese frosting 16oz
  • 1 ½ bags white chocolate melting wafers 10oz
  • 1 cup Red candy melts
  • Valentine’s sprinkles

Equipment

  • Baking Tray
  • Parchment Paper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cookie Scoop

Method
 

  1. Prepare a large baking tray or cutting board with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Mix the crumbled cake with half of the cream cheese frosting, then add more as needed to get a mix that can easily stick together.
  3. Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form 1 ½ inch balls from the cake mix.
  4. Place them all evenly on the baking tray.
  5. Freeze for 30 minutes and in the meantime melt the white chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring each time until it has melted completely.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and work quickly, dip the balls into the white chocolate, drain and set them back down on the tray and let them cool and harden. (You may need to melt the chocolate again halfway through as it starts to thicken up.)
  7. If you’d like to add sprinkles directly to the dipped truffles without the red candy melt drizzle, sprinkle them on before the chocolate hardens.
  8. Melt the red candy melts according to the instructions on the package, add it to a Ziploc bag and cut a pin-size hole in the bottom.
  9. Lightly drizzle it over the truffles and add sprinkles.
  10. Let the red drizzle harden up then serve.

Notes

These truffles are a sweet treat that can be easily customized with different sprinkles or candy melt colors to suit any occasion.
