Cake Truffles

2010 01 01 Rebel xti 019

These were inspired from this post by Jennifer (MckMama) over at My Charming Kids.  She made Snow Pops, but since I didn’t have any sticks…  we went with “truffles”. 

Here’s the basic idea:

Bake a cake – any flavor – cool, and then crumble into a bowl (I know… so much for a perfectly good cake.)  We used Devil’s Food.

Mix in a can of frosting – I used the hand mixer.  (we used coconut pecan – like what you use on devil’s food cake).  Now you have almost cookie dough consistency.

Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours.

Melt chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave.  We used white bark, chocolate chips & white chocolate chips. 

Roll each cake ball in the chocolate and then return to the baking sheet.  (Mine kind of stuck to the pan… you might want to use wax paper to line the pan, or spray it with non-stick cooking spray. 

Top with sprinkles quickly before the chocolate dries. 

Refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
