Dreamy Buttercream Truffles That Dissolve Instantly

These wonderful Buttercream Truffles came into my life ages ago and have become my go-to festive sweet ever since. What makes them special? It's all about that velvety buttercream inside that reminds you of the creamiest cake frosting ever made. After they're coated in smooth milk chocolate, they turn so tempting that I've learned to always whip up twice as many.

Absolute Delight With Each Nibble

These tiny treats are what I love giving during the holidays. When you crack through that milk chocolate coating into the soft buttercream inside, you'll see why everyone wants me to share how I make them. Adding colorful sprinkles makes them stand out beautifully when arranged on holiday cookie trays.

Basic Components For Incredible Decadence

  • Buttercream Frosting Filling: My special mix of butter, powdered sugar, milk plus vanilla and almond extracts creates that luscious center.
  • Chocolate almond bark: This type of chocolate hardens nicely, giving our treats that satisfying crack when bitten.
  • Christmas sprinkles: They bring that festive charm that gets everyone grinning.

Making Your Sweet Delights

Create the Filling
Beat your butter, vanilla and milk until light and airy, then slowly mix in powdered sugar until perfectly smooth. Let it cool in the fridge overnight or for several hours.
Form Your Treats
Put parchment on a tray, form your cold buttercream into small balls and stick them in the freezer to harden.
Cover With Chocolate
Gently melt your chocolate, then dunk each frozen ball using a fork to help coat it fully. Give it a gentle shake to remove excess chocolate.
Top With Decorations
Before the chocolate dries, drizzle more on top and immediately sprinkle your decorations. Wait until the coating turns firm and glossy.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why freeze the centers before chocolate dipping?

Cold buttercream stays firm in warm chocolate, so dipping becomes much easier.

→ Can different flavors be added?

Feel free to add flavors like peppermint or orange. Swap almond extract for something new!

→ What's the best way to store these?

Keep them in a tight container in the fridge for 2 weeks. Bring them out early so they’re room temp for serving.

→ What type of chocolate works best?

Choose milk, dark, or white chocolate. Just make sure it’s tempered correctly for a smooth finish.

→ How to handle soft buttercream for rolling?

If it’s sticky, cool it longer. If it’s rock-hard, let it sit out a bit. Getting it just right makes rolling a breeze.
