Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Base

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • 2 cups white cake mix
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Christmas sprinkles

Coating

  • 10 oz white chocolate wafers (or chopped white chocolate)
  • 2 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Heat Treat Cake Mix: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the white cake mix evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cake mix reaches 160 degrees F to ensure it’s heat-treated. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely without burning.
  2. Prepare the Truffle Dough: Cover a large cookie sheet with waxed paper. In a large bowl, cut the softened butter into small pieces and add it to the bowl. Add the cooled cake mix and cane sugar, stirring to combine.
  3. Blend Butter and Mix: Using a fork, work the butter into the cake mix until fully combined and a smooth dough forms. Add vanilla extract and mix everything together thoroughly with your hands.
  4. Add Sprinkles: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of Christmas sprinkles into the dough to distribute the festive colors evenly.
  5. Form Cake Balls: Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, measure out portions of the dough and roll each between your palms to form smooth balls. Place the truffles onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Chill Truffles: Freeze the truffle balls for 10 minutes to firm up before dipping in chocolate.
  7. Melt White Chocolate: Place white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then continue microwaving in 20-30 second intervals stirring well between each until completely melted and smooth.
  8. Coat Truffles: Use a fork to dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, fully coating it. Place coated truffles back onto the baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle the top with 2 tablespoons of Christmas sprinkles for a festive finish.
  9. Set the Coating: Refrigerate the coated truffles for at least 20 to 30 minutes, or until the white chocolate hardens.
  10. Store: Keep the finished Sugar Cookie Truffles refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 7 to 10 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake mix is heat-treated by baking to kill any bacteria – important if using cake mix in no-bake recipes.
  • Use waxed paper or parchment paper on the baking sheet for easy truffle removal and cleanup.
  • Adjust the size of the truffles to suit preference; smaller truffles will yield more pieces.
  • White chocolate can be substituted with milk or dark chocolate based on taste preferences.
  • Sprinkles add festive color and texture but can be omitted or replaced with crushed nuts or cocoa powder for different variations.
