Valentine's Treat: Cake Batter Truffles on a Stick

Cake Batter Truffles are a perfect little treat, just in time for Valentine's Day (or anytime really.)  They are very easy to make, just a few ingredients.


Cake Batter Truffles {On a Stick}   (original recipe by The Girl Who Ate Everything)
1 ½ cups flour
1 cup yellow cake mix
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
3-4 Tablespoons milk
2 Tablespoons sprinkles

Truffle Coating:
16 ounces (8 squares) almond bark (or white candy melts)
4 Tablespoons yellow cake mix
sprinkles

Beat together butter and sugar using mixer.  Add cake mix, flour, salt, and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Add 3 Tablespoons of milk or more if needed to make a dough consistency. Add sprinkles. Roll dough into one inch balls and place on a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet. Chill balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.

While dough balls are chilling, melt almond bark in the microwave in 30 second intervals.  Once melted, quickly stir in cake mix until incorporated completely. Dip truffles into almond bark, shake off excess bark.  Quickly place back on the cookie sheet insert stick and top with sprinkles.  Best if kept in the fridge until serving. Makes around 24-30 truffles.

This recipe was perfect for little helpers.

A tasty treat indeed!  Always good to get the thumbs up!

Perfect to wrap up and give as a treat!

Because isn't everything just better on  a stick?  ;)
