I have this super fun ridiculously easy recipe to share today! Like, seriously, I can’t believe I haven’t thought of these sooner. Birthday cake truffles, twinkies that have been made into crumbs and formed into cake balls with a vanilla candy shell and colorful sprinkles… so good. So easy. You’re welcome. Birthday cake truffles… who knew?!
Birthday Cake Truffles
The best part about these babies besides being easy… have I said that enough yet?! Is just how stinkin’ cute they are!
I’m in love, can’t you just imagine these on a huge platter at your next Birthday party?! And, they look pretty impressive too right, like you were slaving over them for hours? WRONG… but you knew that already (EASY, right?! *eye roll*).
- 1 box (10 each) Twinkies
- Vanilla candy coating (like candiquick)
- Sprinkles
- Place 5 twinkies at a time in a food processor and pulse until they turn into crumbs.
- Using a tablespoon or a tablespoon scooper, scoop the crumbs and roll into balls. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt the vanilla candy to the instructions on the bag, one at a time coat the twinkie cake balls in the candy. Gently take them out using a fork and tap off the excess.
- Place on a silicone mat or parchment paper, gently sliding them off the fork with a skewer. Immediately garnish with sprinkles so they stick to the candy before it hardens.
- Serve and enjoy!

Well, I could do that!!
Your treats always look so yummy! Thanks for sharing on the Monday Funday Party!
These truffles are SO pretty & colorful! I can already tell that they would taste good from looking at your photos, but kudos for actually getting them to look really photogenic (whenever I attempt them, they look so ugly haha)! You are a Pro!

Sprinkles really makes everything so much better. Love these truffles! Stopping by from the Cook It Craft It Share It party! 🙂
Wasn’t expecting the main ingredient to be Twinkies! What a cool idea.
These truffles look so fantastic, they’d be worth a lot of work. But the fact that they are so simple makes them even better! Thank you for linking at the In and Out of the Kitchen Link Party. Hope to see you again next week.
Pinned – now to find Twinkies!
These sound SO good! We love us a good Twinkie! I can’t wait to make them! Thanks for sharing on Sunday FUNday!
I will take 12 with extra sprinkles! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
Love this…Featuring you tomorrow at Work It Wednesday! Wonderful job! Hope to see your next recipe tomorrow;-)Xo
Congrats!!! These totally stinkin’ Cuties are being featured as a Nibbles By Nic FAVORITE at Wonderfully Creative Wednesdays…I’d say using twinkies is pretty darn creative!!! Thanks for stopping bu with your nibbles and love you to also join Munching Mondays! Warmest, Nic
These look fabulous. Any chance you’ve made them ahead and frozen them? If so, did they keep?
I never have, I’m sorry!! If you try it, I’d love to know!
My head is spinning with possibilities! How about red, white, and blue for the 4th, green and red for Christmas, etc. Use candy pearls for bridal events. Color the frosting black and use orange and yellow sprinkles for Halloween. The possibilities are endless! Thanks for the idea!
