Red Velvet Truffles
Ingredients
Cake Mix Truffles
- 2 cups white chocolate chips divided
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup red velvet cake mix
Optional Garnishes
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Place 2 cups white chocolate chips and the 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 25-second intervals, stirring between each, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth.
- Stir in ¾ cup red velvet cake mix and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until color is uniform.
- Place the bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes or until it is able to be scooped and holds its shape.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop about 1 Tablespoon of truffle mixture.
- Roll the scoops into smooth balls. Place them on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
- Melt remaining ½ cup white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring often.
- Transfer melted chips to a small pipping bag or plastic baggie.
- Cut a small corner off of the bag and drizzle the melted chips over the truffles, adding the sprinkles before it hardens.
Notes
- You can dip the truffles in melted chocolate instead of drizzling them if you prefer.
- Try using different cake mixes for different flavors of truffles.
- Truffles like these can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 weeks. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.

My truffles are gooey. What did I do wronggggg?
It’s hard to say. If chilling didn’t help them to set up, you could always stir in a little more cake mix to firm them up a bit.
