Scale
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, plus ingredients called for on the box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
1/2 cup vanilla frosting
12 oz white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening
Green food coloring
Christmas sprinkles
Pretzel sticks, broken into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
Bake the cake according to the cake mix instructions. Let cool completely.
Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl.
Mix in the vanilla frosting until well combined.
Roll the cake mixture into 1-inch balls. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
Melt the white chocolate chips and shortening in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Add green food coloring to the melted white chocolate and stir until you reach your desired shade of green.
Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted green chocolate, coating it completely.
Immediately add Christmas sprinkles to the dipped cake balls. Gently insert a pretzel stick into the bottom of each truffle.
Chill for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
