Cake Balls and Oreo Truffles

I did these up for an activity last year as a little thank you gift. I think they're super cute! Here's the recipe for both kinds:


Cake Truffles
1 cake mix (and additional ingredients to make the cake)
1 can of frosting
Bake the cake as directed and let cool. In a largo bowl, break cake up into a fine crumbs. Add the can of frosting and mix up until combined and it holds together. Refrigerate (I put it in for about 1 hour, but it can be in there covered for up to 3 days). Roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Dip in chocolate. Decorate as you wish.


Oreo Truffles
1 bag oreos
1 pkg cream cheese softened
Put oreos in cuisinart and crunch to a fine crumb. Dump into a bowl. Put cream cheese in cuisinart and add 3/4 of oreos and pulse together until combined. Add more oreos as needed, but keep some aside for decoration. Roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Dip in chocolate.

For the cake truffles I made a white cake mix and put a little bit of red food coloring in it to make it pink. Then I dipped it in chocolate and sprinkled pink chocolate on the top. So now when you bit into the truffle it's pink inside. The oreo truffles are dipped in pink chocolate and have oreo bits on top. I tried one and they are super good. All the leftovers will have to go to my friends or else I will consume them all!
