FAQs

Can I use a different coating besides almond bark?

Yes, white chocolate or candy melts work well as alternatives and provide a smooth, sweet coating for the truffles.

Do I need to bake the truffle mixture?

No baking is required for these truffles. The flour is raw but safe to eat because it’s combined with sugar and fat; if preferred, you can heat-treat the flour before use to remove any risk.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Dough

1–1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
3–4 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons sprinkles

Coating

16 oz (8 squares) almond bark or vanilla flavored coating
Sprinkles for topping
Pop sticks (for dipping)

Instructions

Prepare the Truffle Dough: Beat together softened butter and white sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is well combined and creamy. Add the yellow cake mix, flour, salt, and vanilla extract, then mix thoroughly. Gradually add 3 to 4 tablespoons of milk (starting with 3) to achieve a dough-like consistency. Finally, fold in the sprinkles gently by hand to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Form and Chill Dough Balls: Roll the prepared dough into one-inch diameter balls. Arrange them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and chill the dough balls for 15 minutes to firm up, making them easier to dip later.
Melt the Coating: While the dough balls chill, melt the almond bark or vanilla coating. Break it into smaller pieces and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each to ensure a smooth, melted coating without burning.
Dip the Truffles: Using a pop stick, dip each chilled dough ball into the melted almond bark. Gently twirl the truffle to remove excess coating, then place it back on the cookie sheet. Immediately sprinkle more sprinkles on top to decorate. Repeat this dipping process for all truffles.
Final Chill: Return the coated truffles to the refrigerator and chill until the coating is completely set and firm. This helps the truffles maintain their shape and provides a crisp coating.
Serve: Once chilled and set, the no-bake cake batter truffles are ready to serve. Enjoy these sweet treats as party favors or dessert bites.

Notes

Use 3 tablespoons of milk first and add more only if needed to avoid a sticky dough.
Almond bark can be substituted with white chocolate for a richer flavor.
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Pop sticks make dipping easier but can be omitted if preferred—use a fork or toothpick instead.
Customize sprinkles according to occasions or personal preference for a festive touch.
