# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 box (15.25 oz) of carrot cake mix (plus the ingredients on the box)
02 -
1 pack (8 oz) of cream cheese, brought to room temperature
03 -
1 pack (16 oz) of white almond bark or vanilla candy coating, like Candiquik
# Instructions:
01 -
Follow the directions on the cake mix package to bake the carrot cake. Once done, set it aside until it's completely cool.
02 -
Break the cooled cake into crumbs inside a big bowl. Toss in the softened cream cheese and blend together by hand or with a mixer until fully combined.
03 -
Roll the cake mixture into small balls, about an inch wide, and place them on a sheet tray. Put them in the freezer for half an hour or more so they’re easier to coat.
04 -
Melt the almond bark or candy coating as per directions. Use a fork to dip each ball, shake off the extra coating, and lay them back on the sheet to set. Continue until all balls are coated.
05 -
Drizzle any leftover candy coating onto the truffles. Sprinkle with cake crumbs for decoration if you'd like. Let them harden before serving.
06 -
Keep them fresh by storing in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer.
# Notes:
01 -
These bite-sized carrot cake treats are made using cake mix, cream cheese, and a melted candy coating. They're both simple and delicious!
02 -
Keep them in the fridge for up to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 90 days.
03 -
Add a pop of color by decorating with green and orange sprinkles to mimic tiny carrots.
04 -
Let the cake cool completely first, so the cream cheese mixes better, making smooth truffles.
