Lemon Cake Batter Truffles
Have you heard of Cake Batter Truffles? They’re made using cake mix (from a box) and a few other ingredients. They’re extremely moist and tender . . .a lot like a conventional chocolate truffle in texture. Here’s the better part . . . there is no baking involved, just mixing and refrigerating. This Lemon version of Cake Batter Truffles is awesome. Enjoy!

Preparation
Beat together butter and sugar using an electrical mixer until combined. Add lemon zest. Blend in vanilla. Add cake mix, flour, salt, and vanilla and blend thoroughly.
Add 1 Tablespoon of milk or more, if needed, to make a dough consistency. Mix in sprinkles by hand.
Roll dough into one inch balls and place on a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet. Chill balls in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
While dough balls are chilling, melt almond bark in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. Stir between intervals. Using a fork, dip truffles into almond bark and shake of excess bark by tapping the bottom of the fork on the side of your bowl. Place truffle back on the cookie sheet and top with sprinkles. Repeat with remaining balls until finished.
Chill cake batter truffles in the fridge until serving.
