I am showing you pictures of a cake truffle below but all you have to do is to substitute brownies instead of cake.All you need to make the cake truffles are a box of cake mix(or brownie mix), some frosting and candy coating:
This recipe is from Bakerella
1 box cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
1 can frosting (16 oz.)
Wax paper
candy melts (1 lb. pkg.)
Lollipop sticks
After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
Mix thoroughly with 1 can frosting. (I use the back of a large spoon, but it may be easier to use your fingers to mix together. But, be warned, it will get messy. Also, you may not need the entire can of frosting, so start out by using almost the entire can and add more if you need to.)
Roll mixture into quarter size balls(mine are a tad bit bigger) and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50)
Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package. (30 sec intervals, stirring in between.)
Dip the tip of your lollipop stick in a little of the melted candy coating and insert into the cake truffle. (Insert a little less than halfway.)
Place them in the freezer for a little while to firm up.
Once firm, carefully insert the cake truffle into the candy coating by holding the lollipop stick and rotating until covered. Once covered remove and softly tap and rotate until the excess chocolate falls off. Don't tap too hard or the cake ball will fall off, too.
I like to use my colander to stick the lollipop sticks into. You can get several in at a time. For cake truffles, all you have to do is rotate the ball off of the stick gently.
Oh My! That sounds so decadent! My 11 year old would love it. :)
