These bite-sized treats are super delicious and perfectly sweet. This is the recipe I used: recipe. I did tweak a lot of the recipe so it worked for me. I will add in what tips and tricks I used to make this recipe.
Batter Ingredients
1.5 cups of flour (I used 1.25)
1 cup of white cake mix (I used 1.25)
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
1/2 of white sugar
1/8 tsp of vanilla extract (I used 1.5 tsp)
2 tsp peppermint extract (I left this out)
1/8 tsp of salt (I used 1/4 tsp)
3-4 Tbsp of milk
Green food coloring
Sprinkles
Coating
16 oz white coating chocolate
Sprinkles
Step 1
Cream together softened butter and sugar until white and fluffy. After this, add in the flour, white cake mix, and . I adjusted the recipe to have equal portions of flour and white cake mix instead of having more flour than cake mix, like the original version of the recipe had. I also completely left out the peppermint extract and added more vanilla extract to compensate for the missing mint. The batter will look kind of crumbly at this point. Add in the milk one tablespoon at a time until the batter becomes dough-like.
Step 2
Add in the green food coloring. I found that it is easiest to use an electric mixer for this to get a cohesive mixture. After this, roll the batter into 1-1.5 inch balls. Once all of the batter is gone and the balls are made, put them into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. While the balls are in the fridge, melt the coating chocolate in the microwave. Melt it in 30 second intervals so the chocolate doesn't burn.
Step 3
Take the balls out of the fridge and use a tool to dip them into the chocolate. I used a fork but you could also use a skewer, a spoon, etc. Make sure to evenly coat the ball in the chocolate and let the excess fall off of the truffle before placing it on a clean baking sheet. To do this, you can gently shake the utensil or scrape the bottom on the edge of the bowl. Once the truffles are on the sheet, lightly dust the top with a few sprinkles. You might need to reheat the chocolate halfway through the coating process if it starts to harden again. Let them chill in the fridge until firm and then they're ready to enjoy!
