No Bake Cake Batter Truffles

This is the dessert from K's party that proved to be the most daunting. I realized after purchasing the groceries to make the Cake Batter Truffles that the recipe called for quite a bit of "beating with a mixer" and I don't own a mixer. Thank goodness for my fiance Mikey & his strong arms. 

The recipe I used came from an awesome blog site called Chef in Training. 

you need:

1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened to room temp

1/2 c. white sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 c. yellow cake mix + 4 Tbs. 

[I used the rest of the box in the Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats & I'm gonna put some in w/ pancake mix]

1 1/2 c. flour

1/8 tsp salt

3-4 Tbs milk

sprinkles

16 oz white candy melts

Beat together the butter and sugar until well combined.  [see why I love Mikey so much]

Blend in 1 tsp of vanilla. Add 1 c. of the cake mix, 1 1/2 c. flour, 1/8 tsp salt.

Mix thoroughly.  [this is where Mikey was like "uh babe?"] add in  milk to make a doughy consistency.

Mix in 2 Tbs. sprinkles by hand [ok that I can do...so I took over here] 

Roll the dough into 1" balls and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet.

Chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.

---20 minutes later---

Melt white chocolate in microwave in 30 secound intervals until melted. Stir between intervals.

Quickly stir in 4 Tbs yellow cake mix until completely incorporated.

Using a fork, dip truffles in chocolate and shake to remove excess. 

Return to cookie sheet & top with sprinkles.

repeat on all truffles

Refrigerate several til set (2-3 hours).

makes 24-30.
