  • 1 cup Pink Candy Melts Can substitute with white chocolate or other colors
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil Can use shortening

  • parchment paper
  • fork

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the cake mix as per package instructions. Bake in a greased 9×13 pan for 25-30 minutes until golden.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using hands or a fork to achieve a sand-like texture.
  3. Mix 3/4 cup of strawberry frosting into the crumbled cake until fully combined and holds together when pressed.
  4. Roll the mixture into smooth balls, about 1 to 2 tablespoons each, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. Melt the pink candy melts with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted pink chocolate and place back on parchment paper to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  7. While the coating is wet, sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberries or colorful sprinkles for decoration.
  8. Let the truffles set at room temperature for 15 minutes or refrigerate until the chocolate is firm and ready to serve.
