Should I heat treat the cake mix?
Absolutely! In this recipe, we went ahead and heat-treated the cake mix. Just like flour, cake mixes should not be consumed raw but should be heat-treated to make sure salmonella or other bacterias are not consumed.
What is the best white chocolate to use?
White chocolate can be tricky to use, especially when melting it. Therefore, we strongly suggest using white chocolate wafers. Also, you could use the melting wafers. Both have a nice and rich consistency and work perfectly in this recipe.
HOW TO MELT WHITE CHOCOLATE?
Simply, place wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave at 50% power level for about 30 seconds. Then, stir it, and microwave for another 20-30 seconds, or until you get a nice and smooth texture.
Can I make Sugar Cookie Truffles in advance?
Yes. These treats are ideal to make in advance as they can be easily stored. Once you roll them, simply put them in an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. They can stay fresh for quite a long time, so feel free to make a larger batch and enjoy them for days to come!
Also, you could freeze them. Just transfer them to a freezer-safe dish. Then, refrigerate for up to 6 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator or counter prior to serving.
