Creating this version I came up with a super-easy substitution of cake flavor (strawberry) and a bit of red coloring. I tend to hoard different kinds of sprinkles and jimmies, so it gave me a chance to dig into my arsenal of goodies, too.

Patriotic No-Bake Cake Batter Truffles

Patriotic No-Bake Cake Batter Truffles are tasty bites of cake batter in All-American red, white and blue. Great for BBQ's, parties or picnics!

Ingredients

For the Truffles:
1-1/2 c. cake flour
1 c. strawberry cake mix
1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c. white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt
3-4 tbsp. milk
1-2 tsp. red food coloring
2 tbsp. sprinkles
For the Coating:
16 oz. (8 squares) almond bark or vanilla flavored coating
Sprinkles in red, white and blue (for topping)

Instructions

For the truffles: Beat together butter and sugar using an electric mixer until combined. Add cake mix, flour, salt, and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Add milk and food coloring to make a dough consistency. Mix in sprinkles by hand.
Roll dough into one-inch balls and place on parchment or wax paper on a cookie sheet. Chill balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
For the coating: While dough balls are chilling, melt almond bark in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. Stir between intervals.
Using a fork, dip truffles into melted almond bark and gently twirl around to remove excess coating. Place truffle back on cookie sheet and top with sprinkles. Repeat with remaining balls until finished.
Chill truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Makes approximately 24-30 truffles.
