Delightfully rich and easy-to-make Snickerdoodle Truffles combine the classic cinnamon sugar flavor of snickerdoodles with a smooth chocolate coating. These bite-sized treats are perfect for festive occasions or a cozy sweet snack, featuring a soft cake-like center and a decadent chocolate shell sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Truffle Base

  • 1 cup vanilla cake mix
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Additional cinnamon and powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together the vanilla cake mix, softened butter, eggs, and ground cinnamon until you achieve a smooth and homogenous dough.
  2. Chill the dough: Place the dough in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour to firm up, which makes it easier to roll.
  3. Form truffle balls: Once chilled, take tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into smooth balls. Arrange these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  5. Dip the truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before carefully returning the coated truffle to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle and set: While the chocolate is still warm, generously sprinkle additional ground cinnamon and powdered sugar over each truffle for extra flavor and visual appeal. Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate them until the chocolate shell is firm.

Notes

  • Make sure to chill the dough properly; it helps in rolling the truffles without sticking.
  • Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate for the best flavor and smooth coating.
  • If you like, you can add a pinch of salt to the chocolate for a contrast of flavors.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they keep well for up to one week.
  • For a festive touch, try rolling the truffles in cinnamon sugar instead of just sprinkling at the end.
