Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
