Use a different flavor cake mix– If you prefer to make chocolate truffles, red velvet or even carrot you can! Just use your favorite flavor cake mix to create the truffles of your choice. Different flavors will obviously be different colors so they will look different and you may want to choose sprinkles that compliment the colors.
Add Extract– If you are using a white or vanilla cake mix you can make sugar cookie truffles by adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract. If you prefer a peppermint flavor you can add 1/2 – 1 tsp of peppermint extract.
If you’re making chocolate truffles you can add hazelnut extract for a Nutella like flavor, orange for a delicious chocolate orange flavor or peppermint to make chocolate mint truffles.
Add ins– You can add some mix ins to these little truffles to add flavor and give them some crunch. Add mini dehydrated marshmallows to create hot chocolate truffles, add in mini chocolate chips for cookie dough truffles, or add in white chocolate chips for white chocolate truffles. You can also add in chopped nuts or sprinkles!
Cover them in chocolate- If you want chocolate covered truffles you use this recipe. After you form the truffle mixture into balls you’ll want to freeze them for at least 2 hours so they are frozen solid. Then melt chocolate or candy melts in a double boiler and dip your frozen truffles.
Drizzle them with chocolate– These truffles are rolled in sugar or sprinkles but you can also drizzle them with melted chocolate. You can melt chocolate chips or candy melts and drizzle it over your finished truffles. You can add sprinkles to the top for an festive treat!
