HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEAGAN! Articles of CONFETTIracy TRUFFLES!

Today is Ms. Meagan Roach's Birthday! Ay Ayyyyy!! In celebration of this pretty lady's day, I decided to bring back and oldie in a whole new form! Meagan wouldn't tell me her favorite cake, but who doesn't love funfetti cake?!? I decided to mix it up by making them into NO BAKE truffles! Bite sized and absolutely delicious! Yummers





What you'll need:
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup yellow cake mix
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3-4 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp sprinkles

Truffle Coating:
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate
- sprinkles
 
How you make it: 


Start by beating together the butter and sugar in an electric mixer. When combined, add in the vanilla, cake mix, flour, salt, and mix thoroughly. Next, add 3 tablespoons of milk. It takes a little time, but the mixture should be a doughy consistency. If it is too dry, add the last tablespoon of milk. Then add in the sprinkles and mix with a wooden spoon. Roll the dough into one inch balls and place them on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Then chill balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
 

While dough is in the fridge, melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second interval, mixing after each interval until fully melted. Next, dip the cold truffles into chocolate and shake off any excess. Do this one at a time and try to work quickly because the warm chocolate begins to melt the dough. Then place the little nuggets back on the cookie sheet and top with lots of sprinkles
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve!


The birthday girl is the sexy lady in the middle! Doesn't her hair look great?!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEAGAN!!! 

With the extra yellow cake mix, I made Meagan a rainbow (her favorite)

Yellow cake, food coloring, and some dark chocolate merlot ganache frosting! (Frosting: melt 1/2 cup butter with 3/4 cups dark chocolate chips in a microwave. Mix well and add in 1/4 cup of merlot wine. Mix and refrigerate for 20 mins or until sets to a creamy texture. Then frost!)
