Week 3***Day 3

These are delish!!!! And super easy :) Easy Cake Batter Truffles Recipe source: The Girl Who Ate Everything 1 ½ cups flour 1 cup yellow cake mix ½ cup unsalted butter, softened ½ cup white sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/8 teaspoon salt 3-4 Tablespoons milk 2 Tablespoons sprinkles Truffle Coating: 16 ounces (8 squares) almond bark (or white candy melts) 4 Tablespoons yellow cake mix Sprinkles  Beat together butter and sugar using an electric mixer until combined. Add cake mix, flour, salt, and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Add 3 Tablespoons 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 refrigerator 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. Once melted, quickly stir in cake mix until incorporated completely. 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 refrigerator until serving. Makes around 24-30 truffles.

Cookie/PB cup/brownie recipe

Here is the recipe for the delish brownie/cookie/pb cups. **Super easy!!! I totally cheated with already made or boxed products. **Refrigerated cookie dough- already portioned type. Boxed brownie mix- I used chewy fudge brownies. Sub applesauce for the oil. Peanut butter cups or Oreos or whatever your fav chocolate is. **In a muffin tin- push one cookie into bottom, then put the PB cup on and add brownie batter on top. Bake at 350 for 18-22 minutes. Cool on rack, use butter knife around edges to remove. I made 24. Enjoy!!!
