You cannot take me into a Michael’s or JoAnn’s craft shops without me hitting the baking aisle. Not that I am a baker. Far from it. Baking is so precise, while I prefer the more abstract freedom of cooking things like vegetables. However, I cannot go into one of these craft stores without scooping up confectionary decorations like colorful sprinkles and funky cupcake papers. So despite Easter still being several weeks away, the stores are fully stocked with all things Easter and spring.
I have made chocolate truffles in the past as they are very easy. Just three ingredients. But since I had invested in a lifetime supply of lollipop sticks and Easter egg sprinkles, I decided to up my game. A little bit. I made my chocolate truffles, stuck a lollipop stick into them and rolled them in some sprinkles.
They came out so cute! Even Mr. Beet was impressed. I say that because Mr. Beet takes his sweets very seriously.
I bought my supplies at JoAnn’s Fabric and Craft Supplies but everything is available at Amazon as well. I included the Amazon links in the recipe (thank you for your support!) While I used Wilton’s Candy Melt Treat Sticks, but lollipop sticks work well also.
So enjoy this simple recipe and see how creative you can get!
