Christmas Truffles
Some of my friends and family consider me to be “the truffle queen” because of how many truffles I make in a given year. I have spent a lot of time perfecting the art of making homemade truffles and they are always delicious. Whether they are made with boxed cake mix, homemade cakes, pre-made cookie sandwiches, or homemade cookies, I can turn them into a real good truffle. I was inspired to make a holiday version of my cake batter truffles that would be covered in fun and festive sprinkles and they turned out great!
Now how do you make a cake batter truffle? Well, it’s super simple – blend together a box of cake mix with cream cheese, roll into balls, and cover with sprinkles. That’s it! This is the perfect no-fuss dessert for any holiday party.
