  2. 2

    Wearing gloves, [otherwise you will have red stained hands for quite some time!] break up cake and mix in your cream cheese frosting. ° Roll batter into small balls. About 1 tablespoon sized. But, the sizes are entirely up to you. ° You can also make one large party truffle ball if you'd like and serve it with cookies [of your choosing] on the side for dipping. ° Use powdered sugar on your hands if your batter starts sticking.

  3. 3

    Place truffles in fridge and allow them to set up for 1 hour or until fully chilled.

  4. 4

    In seperate bowls, melt your chocolates in the microwave - just to the point of a gentle melt. Don't overheat or burn.

  5. 5

    Pierce your truffles one by one with your sticks [or a fork will work] and dip into your melted chocolates. Then, dip them into your colorful candy sprinkles. ° Or, using a spoon - dip it into your melted chocolates drizzle over your truffles. Drizzle both white and dark for a festive look if you're out of sprinkles. ° Gently release your truffles from your sticks and place on parchment paper or equivalent.

  6. 6

    Refrigerate truffles until the chocolate coating has set up and firmed. This recipe usually yields about 40 truffles.

  7. 7

    Consider placing your chilled truffles in decorative paper cups if you'd like! Enjoy!
