Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of crushed vanilla wafers, 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 package of banana pudding mix, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into small balls. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, keeping them about an inch apart.
  3. Refrigerate the shaped truffles for about 30-45 minutes until they are firm to the touch.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, add 1 cup of white chocolate chips or candy melts and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Optionally, mix in food coloring for pastel shades.
  5. Dip each cooled truffle into the melted chocolate and tap off any excess before returning to the baking sheet.
  6. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your truffles with crushed vanilla wafers or colorful Easter sprinkles.
  7. Allow the truffles to set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes or place them in the refrigerator to firm up further before serving.
