Servings: 24 people
- 1 (15 oz) box yellow cake mix baked according to box instructions
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles plus more for topping
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil optional
Start by baking your yellow cake mix according to box instructions. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then break up the warm cake into crumbs. Transfer the cake crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
Add milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and sprinkles to the bowl of cake. Using clean hands, mix to combine until the mixture holds together.
Squeeze and press the cake mixture in between your hands to form 2-inch sized balls. Chill the balls in the fridge for 10 minutes.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring in between until smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick, add the coconut oil to thin it out.
Working one by one, cover each cake ball in the melted chocolate. Tap off any excess chocolate, then place on parchment paper. Immediately top with sprinkles.
Let the chocolate firm up before serving. To speed this up, place the truffles in the fridge for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 10.
