No Bake Birthday Cake Truffles




I made these Saturday night, and by the time I left work on Monday, they were mostly gone. Keeping in mind that this batch made 34 truffles, and my department is only 4 people, that can only mean that word spread quickly around the building and goodness gracious do people love their birthday cake! Needless to say, by the end of the day I was one popular lady at work ;)

These truffles are truly amazing. Soft on the inside, a little bit of crunch from the sprinkles, and the familiar moistness of the french vanilla make this the perfect little bite! Let's skip the fluff and get straight to the recipe!

Cream together your butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy


Then take turns adding in your dry ingredients and milk to keep the matter solid.


Add in everyone's favorite part! Sprinkles!


Now form the dough into bite sized balls. Keep in mind that the balls will become much bigger once they're coated in chocolate, so if you're going for one-bite truffles, keep them super small! I went for 2 bite truffles and made the balls about 3/4" big.


And now comes the fun part: chocolate! Dip each ball in the chocolate, and fish it out with a fork. Tap the bottoms on the side of the bowl to get off any extra chocolate


Once the chocolate has set up, feel free to dig in! You can put them in the fridge or the freezer, they'll be tasty either way :)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter - unsalted
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup French Vanilla cake mix
1 bag milk chocolate chips
4 T sprinkles
4 T milk

1.) Cream butter + sugar
2.) In separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients except sprinkles. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to butter mixture until completely combined. Mix in sprinkles by hand
3.) Roll dough into bite sized balls and place on parchment paper lined tray, chill in fridge for at least 15 minutes.
4.) Melt bag of chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between every reheat. Dip truffles in chocolate, then place back on parchment paper to set up in fridge. Enjoy!
