cake batter truffles

Cake Batter Truffles sweet treats that are perfect for parties, celebrations and baby showers.

We all love dough balls. They’re always filled with surprises or doughy goodness. You can’t resist the balls!!

One of my coworkers and dear friend is having a baby boy in March. I was on the planning committee for her baby shower this past Monday. I immediately knew what I wanted to make for the shower. I’ve seen these pop up (haaaa) all over the interwebs and had been wanting an excuse to make these. Even more perfect was that there were no raw eggs in this so that meant she could actually eat these too :) The recipe I found was from my sweet friend Amy, whom I had the pleasure of dining with on Saturday evening. She is so sweet and I absolutely loved spending time with her :)

These are super easy to make and really easy to eat. I had to stop myself from eating a ton of these because I had to make about 50 for the shower. They taste just like cake batter and it’s a great mini dessert to bring to potlucks and parties. You can buy individual cellophane wrappers and tie a cute ribbon at the top to seal them up. Super easy!
