Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to heat treat the cake mix.
Spread the cake mix onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes; allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Place softened cream cheese in a medium bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooled cake mix and fold in with a spatula; mix on medium-high speed until combined.
Fold in cream cheese chips until well mixed.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough; roll into smooth balls.
Allow the dough balls to expand for about 15 minutes before coating them in chocolate.
Melt the vanilla melting wafers using a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
Dip each dough ball fully in the melted vanilla wafers and place on the lined baking sheet, sprinkling desired sprinkles on half of them.
Melt the pink candy melts in piping bags in the microwave, then drizzle over the remaining coated truffles.
Let the truffles set completely before serving.

Notes

Chilling the dough is crucial for the best texture and preventing cracks during coating.
Feel free to customize the sprinkles based on the occasion!
The double boiler method is preferred for melting chocolate to maintain the proper temperature.
