Ingredients
- Carrot cake box mix, plus oil, water, and eggs needed
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 lb almond bark, or candy melts
- 1/3 cup chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
- Prepare carrot cake according to package instructions. Once baked, let rest for 5 minutes in the pan, before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large bowl, crumble carrot cake until it is a fine, uniform crumb.
- Using clean hands or while wearing gloves, mix the cream cheese into the cake crumbs.
- Use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to portion out the truffles, rolling to shape into a more uniform ball.
- Place onto prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate bark or candy melts in 30 to 40 second intervals, stirring between each interval. Do this until bark is completely melted.
- Use two forks or a skewer to dip each truffle into the melted bark, tap off excess, and place back onto the parchment-lined pan.
- Decorate the top of each truffle with a sprinkling of chopped pecans.
- Place the tray back into the refrigerator for the truffles to harden completely. Around 60 to 90 minutes.
Enjoy!
