# Tips from hearthlykitchen:

01 -
  • No oven required and they come together in under 30 minutes of active time
  • That nostalgic banana pudding flavor everyone loves but in an adorable poppable format
  • The contrast of creamy filling, crunchy wafer crumbs, and crisp white chocolate is absolutely addictive
02 -
  • Chilling the truffle centers before dipping is absolutely essential or they will fall apart in the warm chocolate
  • If your white chocolate seizes and becomes grainy, whisk in a teaspoon of vegetable oil to smooth it out again
  • Work quickly when adding sprinkles because once that chocolate hardens, nothing will stick
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform truffles that look professional and bake evenly
  • Keep your dipping chocolate warm by setting the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water
