Buttercream Truffles came out of the need to use up extra frosting. Now they are the perfect treat to make anytime!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons milk
- 16 ounce Ghiraradelli dark chocolate melting wafers, melted
- Sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth. Add in milk and beat an additional 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour (or more!).
- Scoop 1 Tablespoon balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Freeze balls for about 30 minutes.
- Once firm, remove balls from freezer, and use your fingertips to shape smooth.
- Melt chocolate wafers according to package directions. Using a toothpick, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, tapping on the side of the bowl to remove the excess. Drop onto parchment paper and add sprinkles immediately. Repeat for remaining truffles.
