Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan and bake the cake mix according to the package instructions.
  2. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before crumbling.
  3. Use your hands or a fork to crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Add the strawberry frosting to the crumbled cake and mix thoroughly until combined.
  5. Fold in any optional mix-ins, such as crushed vanilla wafers or freeze-dried strawberries.
  6. Roll about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture into balls and place them on a lined baking sheet.
  7. Refrigerate the baking sheet with the shaped truffles for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Melt the pink candy melts along with coconut oil in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  9. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted coating, ensuring it is fully covered, and let excess drip off.
  10. Sprinkle any desired decorative toppings on top of each truffle while the coating is still wet.
  11. Allow the candy coating to set completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
