No Bake Cake Batter Truffles

I know I have already written a post today, but I just have to share these with you and I couldn't wait until tomorrow. I found this recipe on the Chef In Training blog. These are amazing! They remind me of vanilla cream candies. They are so easy that even the most baking challenged can make them.

No Bake Cake Batter Truffles (recipe adapted from Chef in Training

• 1 c vanilla cake mix (I used yellow cake mix.  This recipe is very flexible with what cake mix you use)
• 1/4 c sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp agave (optional and you can just use all sweetened condensed milk if you don’t have agave on hand)
• 1.5 to 2 cups chocolate chips

In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients, except chocolate chips, and stir to combine.

This mixture should be quite solid and not runny, but not so dry that you can’t mold it into balls.  If you find that your mixture is a little too runny, add a touch more cake mix.  If it’s a little too dry, add more sweetened condensed milk/agave.  I ended up using about 1.25 c of cake mix to get the perfect consistency.

After you’ve made the dough, refrigerate or freeze for 15 minutes and then remove and roll into balls.

After the balls have been made, refrigerate or freeze for 15 minutes minutes or until well-chilled, ensuring the melted chocolate will adhere and set up properly.

Place parchment paper down on a cookie sheet or pan.

Melt the chocolate chips, and dip the chilled cake batter balls into melted chocolate.  After the balls are dipped in chocolate, place on parchment paper.  Place truffles in freezer or fridge to set up.

Enjoy!
