Ingredients
  

Filling ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Essential for that warm flavor.
  • 1 pinch kosher salt Enhances sweetness and flavors.
  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) white cake mix Use a quality cake mix for best results.
  • 1 ounce cinnamon whiskey, like Fireball The star of the show!
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans Adds a delightful crunch.

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Used to thin the chocolate coating.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add in the cake mix, Fireball, and finely chopped pecans. Beat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fully combined and dough-like.
  4. Using a 1.5 tablespoon scoop, portion out the mixture and roll into round shapes. Aim for about 32 truffles.
  5. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight, to firm them up.
Coating
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the almond bark and vegetable oil. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring in between until melted and smooth.
  2. Allow the melted almond bark to cool for about 2 to 2.5 minutes.
  3. Dip the truffles in the melted almond bark, letting the excess drip off before placing them back on the lined baking sheet.
  4. If the almond bark thickens, simply reheat for a few seconds in the microwave.
  5. Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.
  6. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is hard.

Notes

These truffles can last about a week in the fridge. For longer storage, freeze for up to three months.
