FAQs
Can I use homemade cake mix instead of store-bought?
Yes, homemade cake mix works well as long as it is dry. Make sure to adjust the cream cheese amount if the mixture feels too wet or dry.
What chocolate is best for coating the truffles?
Meltable chocolate coating or candy melts are ideal because they harden smoothly and quickly, making dipping easier. You can also use high-quality chocolate bars tempered carefully at home.
