Triple chocolate cake mix combined with cream cheese and toffee bits; then dipped in chocolate. Perfect for your special Valentine!
I have one more Valentines treat to share with you but it was purely by accident. I had purchased this new Duncan Hines cake mix called Triple Chocolate and forgot about it.
Over the weekend, the family was in the mood for something chocolate so I told them I'd just make this cake as a bundt cake. Well, I made it but my pan is shot because this is the third time I've made something in it and the cake stuck to the bottom causing a huge mess.
So I decided to turn my mistake into these Triple Chocolate Toffee Truffles.
I used the same premise as the Oreo truffles but also found some Heath bits left in the closet so I threw in some of those for good measure as well. They were a definite hit (I mean really..who wouldn't like chocolate and toffee?!).
How do you make Triple Chocolate Toffee Truffles?
For this recipe you'll need Duncan Hines Triple Chocolate Cake Mix, Cream Cheese, Toffee Bits Chocolate. You can dip them into regular, dark or white chocolate, it's completely your preference.
I just mixed it up since I only had a little of each kind. If the chocolate is a little thick when melted, add a touch of oil to help thin it out.
Prepare cake according to package directions and allow to cool completely. Add cake to a bowl and crush using a fork.
Add the cream cheese and toffee bits and mix well; then form into 1" round balls, place on parchment paper on a baking sheet and freeze for approximately 15 minutes.
Melt chocolate according to package directions and dip balls into the chocolate. Place on parchment paper until the chocolate has hardened.
You can also use some sprinkles to make them festive but I didn't have much of those left either. I like these best when kept in the freezer.

Thanks for all of the great comments. @Joan Yes, they were sweet enough with the chocolate and toffee bits, I thought frosting would push it into sugar overload! lol

Carrie, I'm drooling on my keyboard, and I love that you use cream cheese instead of frosting. I can't believe I'm say this, but sometimes cake balls can be too sweet. I can't wait to try these!
