A Sweet Treat

I got a little creative in the baking department last week.  I had a little potluck dinner to go to and it was my turn to make dessert.  The full recipe and instructions can be found here.

The insides of the truffles were chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting mixed in.  After you mix the cake and frosting you roll them into 1 inch balls... 

 The outsides were a combo of melting chocolate and melting vanilla.  I melted small batches of the chocolate or vanilla, dipped each ball individually (the vanilla needed to be dipped twice), and allowed them to harden on a sheet of foil...

Next it was time to decorate!  Again I melted small batches of the vanilla and chocolate, then spooned it into a baggie, cut the corner out of the bag (making a very small hole), and drizzled the melted stuff over the balls...

Each ''truffle'' was placed inside a mini-muffin paper and then they were ready to eat!  The cake was so moist and sweet. 

 The coolest thing about this project was the fact that you could take the rolled cake balls (before they get dipped in chocolate) place them in a zip-top bag and throw them in the freezer!  Just take them out of the freezer and pop them in the fridge a day before you want to use them.  Then proceed as planned.  They still taste great and the cake doesn't dry out at all!
