Chocolate Cake Truffles – A delcious treat made with just 3 simple ingredients – boxed chocolate cake mix, chocolate, and cream cheese! Perfect for any holiday or party!

Chocolate Cake Truffles

Chocolate cake is the best! One of the only things that might be even better is these chocolate cake truffles! Now it may sound silly to turn chocolate cake into truffles but hear me out, these truffles are incredible! I used a box of triple chocolate fudge cake (the same one that I turned into cake mix cookies HERE) and baked it according to the instructions before crumbling it up and blending it with cream cheese. Then, I rolled out little truffles and covered them with chocolate. It’s a super easy treat that can be made ahead of time for a party.

Now you can really use any box of chocolate cake mix with any additional flavors in it such as german chocolate, chocolate fudge, etc. You can also use your own chocolate cake recipe instead.

Common Questions About Making Chocolate Cake Truffles

Can I use white chocolate instead of chocolate?

You sure can! You could also drizzle them with white chocolate like I did for the pictures.

How should I decorate these truffles?

I used white chocolate that I melted and drizzled it on top of the truffles but you could also use sprinkles or just drizzle chocolate on top of the truffles instead.

Can I freeze the truffles?

Yes, freezing the truffles until you are ready to serve them works great.

What should I do if my truffle filling isn’t forming together?

If your truffles filling (chocolate cake and cream cheese) is loose and isn’t forming into balls, try adding a bit more cream cheese and blending again. That helps them form together more.

Kahlua Brownies

Kahlua Brownies – A delicious spin on classic boxed brownie mix made with Kahlua coffee liqueur! Made with just 5 ingredients, these brownies are amazing!

Kahlua Brownies

Calling all Kahlua fans! After making my oh so yummy Bailey’s Brownies last, I decided I was going to jump ship and bake brownies with another favorite liqueur this week – Kahlua! Now Kahlua is really one of the perfect alcohols to pair with a brownie since it has great coffee and rum flavors that works so well with chocolate. It gives the brownie just a subtle bit of flavor that is hard to top. I like to serve Kahlua brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of homemade caramel sauce just to make it even more decadent!

Common Questions About Making Kahlua Brownies

What is Kahlua?

Kahlua is a rum and coffee liqueur. It is a great addition to a wide range of drinks from hot chocolate to frappuccinos.

What else can I use Kahlua in?

Kahlua can be used in so many things but some of my favorites include-

Kahlua Latte
Kahlua Hot Chocolate
Kahlua Frappuccino
Kahlua Chocolate Chip Cookies
White Chocolate Mudslide
Kahlua Truffles

What kind boxed brownie mix should I use?

Any boxed brownie will work fine. I usually stick to the basics like “fudge brownie” but just use whatever you have on hand or can find.

Can I frost these brownies?

Of course! You can either make your own frosting or use a pre-made can. Personally, I usually just put a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

January 11, 2021 by madi

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies – A fun spin on classic oatmeal cookies made with chocolate chips and just a few other simple ingredients.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Oatmeal cookies are such a classic. Whether you like them with raisins, cranberries, or any other mix-in, they are always a favorite for all! One of my absolute favorite ways to make oatmeal cookies is by adding chocolate chips to them. It really makes it such a great combination of both an oatmeal cookie and a chocolate chip cookie.

Now you can really use any type of chocolate chip or chocolate chunk in this recipe whether it is a basic chocolate chip, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, etc. It’s just up to what you prefer best.

Common Questions About Making Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

What kind of oats should I use?

I suggest using old fashioned oats but you can substitute them for quick-cooking oats. Please don’t use steel-cut oats, the cookies won’t turn out correctly.

What other mix-ins can I put in oatmeal cookies?

Some other fun varieties of oatmeal cookies include –

Apple Oatmeal Cookies
Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Cherry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Why are my oatmeal cookies hard?

You probably baked them a bit too long. The key with cookies is that they continue to bake once they are pulled out of the oven so while you don’t want to pull them out as raw cookie dough, you do want to keep in mind that they will crisp up a little still.

I love Bailey’s. I swear, I have been adding it to all of my recipes lately and everytime it ends up tasting amazing! When I was making brownies the other day, I was curious if I could substitute other liquids for water in boxed brownie mix to add more flavor to them. I directly substituted 3 tablespoons of Bailey’s for the 3 tablespoons of water along with the addition of a teaspoon of espresso powder and the brownies turned out perfect! Just a little hint of Bailey’s really took my boxed brownie mix to the next level!

Now I know, using boxed brownie mix sounds really basic but I think that it makes the process so easy and the brownies turn out nice and consistent. With the Bailey’s and espresso powder, no one will ever have any idea that the base is boxed brownie mix unless you tell them.

Oreo Truffles

December 18, 2020 by madi

Oreo Truffles – No bake truffles made from oreos and topped with white chocolate and a drizzle of chocolate! These truffles are perfect for the holidays or as a dessert for any party!

Oreo Truffles

Oreo truffles are one of those desserts that is a must on my holiday baking list every year. Since they are 3-4 ingredients (depending on if you want the chocolate drizzle or not) and no bake, they are about the easiest thing to make. I think that something about turning an oreo (which is already delicious) into a truffle makes it taste even more incredible. Now personally, I coat the truffles in white chocolate because I think it looks more like a classic oreo but you are totally welcome to coat them with chocolate instead or do a mix of some with white chocolate and some with normal chocolate. You can’t go wrong with these truffles!

Common Questions About Making Oreo Truffles

What are oreos?

Oreos are a sandwich cookie made from two chocolate wafers with a creme filling in between.

Can I use chocolate instead of white chocolate?

You sure can! You could also roll them in a mix of chocolate and white chocolate or even just drizzle them with chocolate.

Can I freeze the truffles?

Yes, freezing the truffles until you are ready to serve them works great.

What can I decorate oreo truffles with?

Sprinkles or a drizzle of a fun color of candy melts or chocolate are my favorite ways to decorate oreo truffles but additionally, you could always just leave them plain too!

Can I use golden oreos instead of oreos?

You sure can! Any type of oreo will work in this recipe whether they are golden oreos, red velvet oreos, birthday cake oreos, etc. Click HERE for my golden oreo truffle recipe.

What should I do if my truffle filling isn’t forming together?

If your truffles filling (red velvet cake and cream cheese) is loose and isn’t forming into balls, try adding a bit more cream cheese and blending again. That helps them form together more.

Do you remove the cream when making oreo truffles?

No, leave the cream in those oreos and blend them up! They wouldn’t be oreos without the cream!

Can you use a blender to make oreo truffles?

Yes! I think that a blender would work pretty much just as well as a food processor.

Red velvet cake is a favorite for both Christmas and Valentine’s Day because of it’s festive and bright color that makes it stand out.

While it does take the extra step to cook the boxed cake mix, it makes the truffles so moist and delicious that I can’t imagine making them any other way. I suggest making the cake a day or two before you plan on turning it into truffles so that it has plenty of time to cool.

No Bake Sugar Cookie Dough

After discovering the joys of making edible no bake cookie dough at home all the way back in 2017, it has been one of my go-to easy desserts! With Christmas right around the corner, I wanted to try taking one of my favorite flavors and turning it into cookie dough – sugar cookies! Now this is really just a super basic edible cookie dough recipe but you can jazz it up as much as you want by adding fun sprinkles, white chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, cinnamon chips, etc. There are so many possibilities!

Now this recipe may be no bake but it comes with a stipulation. You should really cook the flour before making it which is a 5 minute process and you can always cook extra so that if you want to make more no bake cookie dough, you won’t have to worry about cooking it right then.

Common Questions About Making Edible Cookie Dough

Is it safe to eat cookie dough?

If there is raw eggs or raw flour, technically no. While all of us have definitely had our fair share of cookie dough right off the spatula, raw eggs and flour are a no-no. Now that being said, it is up to you how concerned you are about raw flour but it is a raw food and there could be bacteria in it.

How do I bake flour?

If you are concerned about any bacteria in flour, preheat oven to 350°F, spread flour in a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, and bake for 5 minutes. It’s a super easy process.

What other flavors of edible cookie dough can I make?

There are so many options! Some of my favorite types of cookie dough include –

Chocolate Chip
Snickerdoodle
Peanut Butter
Gingerbread

Can I turn edible cookie dough into cookies?

No, please do not do that. There are no eggs, baking soda, or baking powder so your cookies would turn out flat and sad.

Nutter Butter Truffles

I cannot get enough of these nutter butter truffles. So I will be the first to say that my favorite packaged cookies are a tie between nutter butters and golden oreos. After how awesome my golden oreo truffles turned out, I knew that I just had to try turning nutter butters into a truffle too! This may sound crazy to say but I think these truffles are even better than the original cookies were!
