How to Make Easter Baby Chick Truffles

This truffle recipe is easy and fun! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create the cutest carrot cake chick truffles ever.

Step 1. Prepare the Truffle Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine Funfetti cake mix with room-temperature butter. Add vanilla extract and two tablespoons of milk, then mix until a dough forms.

If the dough feels too dry, add the remaining tablespoon of milk. Stir in rainbow sprinkles for extra color if desired. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until it firms up.

Optional: Add rainbow sprinkles for a fun, colorful touch!

Step 2. Shape the Truffles

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, portion the dough and roll it into egg-shaped balls to resemble baby chick bodies. Place each truffle on the prepared cookie sheet.

Step 3. Melt the Chocolate

Melt the yellow melting chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. Dip each truffle in the melted yellow chocolate using a fork or tweezers to coat it thoroughly. Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment paper to set.

Step 4. Add Details

Attach black round sprinkles for eyes while the chocolate is still soft.

Dip pretzel bows into orange melting chocolate to create the chick’s feet and place them at the base of each truffle.

Add beaks on each chick in a piping bag filled with orange melting chocolate.

Step 6: Let Them Set

Allow your truffles to cool and harden. Once set, you’ll have the most adorable chick truffles, perfectly decorated for any spring celebration!

Tips for Success

• Melting wafers work best for a smooth, solid melt that’s easy to coat.
• Ensure the truffle ball is cool before dipping it into the candy coating—otherwise, things can get messy!
• Explore by touch to ensure the coating is set before adding the details. Touch device users might find using tweezers handy for precision work.

Variations to Try

These truffles are also easy to customize. If you prefer pastel-colored chicks, swap the yellow candy melts for white chocolate. Experiment with different cake flavors—Funfetti or chocolate- for a unique twist.

Want to turn these into chocolate truffles? Use a chocolate cake mix, coat them in dark chocolate, and call them little bunnies instead of chicks!
