Celebrate this Independence Day in style with these easy and delicious Patriotic Cake Truffles!
Cake truffles are all the rage with the younger crowd right now and those of us in the older crowd are catching on quick to how convenient little bites of cake with icing inside and chocolate coating really are.
Today I’m bringing you a great recipe to whip up for your Fourth of July celebration. These can be made a couple of days ahead of time (I’d keep them in the fridge) and they travel really well. They’re also awfully pretty :).
