Amazing, Easy to Make Cake Batter Truffles

If you are planning a 4th of July picnic or have one you will be attending and need to take a dish-to-pass, consider making these delicious cake batter truffles.  You could actually use this idea for any occasion; just change up the cake mix, chocolate melts and sprinkles to whatever matches your event or get together.

INGREDIENTS:

1 (15.25 oz) Pillsbury blue raspberry cake mix

3 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil 

1 cup water 

1 cup vanilla frosting (homemade or store bought)

1/2 cup patriotic jimmies sprinkles, divided

12 oz. bag Wilton blue candy melts

Patriotic nonpareils sprinkles

DIRECTIONS:

1.   Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 baking pan and set aside.

2.   Add the cake mix, eggs, oil and water to a large mixing bowl.   Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

3.   Pour into your prepared baking pan and bake for 10-12 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

4.   Allow the cake to completely cool for 45 minutes.

5.   Once cooled, break the cake up into small pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.   

6.   Add 1 cup of vanilla frosting and 1/3 cup of the red, white and blue jimmies sprinkles. Mix well.  Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes for easier handling.

7.   Line a large cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.

8.   Roll the chilled cake mixture into 1 inch balls and place on the lined cookie sheet.

9.  In a double boiler pan (or a Wilton candy warmer), melt the candy melts under medium heat.  Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.  Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate and place on the lined cookie sheet.

10.   Immediately sprinkle with the remaining patriotic jimmies and nonpareils sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
