10-Minute "Pick Your Flavor" Easter Truffles Recipe

These Easter truffles are ridiculously easy, are seriously cute, and taste divine. Shaped into cute little Easter eggs and rolled in colored sugar or sprinkles (your choice!), they make quite an impression with little effort. Even better, they're totally kid friendly, so you can get lots of help in the kitchen if you want it.

This Easter candy recipe, which makes about 3 dozen 1 1/2" truffle eggs, originally called for white chocolate chips and vanilla frosting to make elegant little white eggs. But the sky's the limit! Any combination of frosting and chips will taste divine. Try mint chocolate chips with chocolate frosting, or peanut butter chips with strawberry frosting, or even butterscotch chips with caramel-flavored frosting. Then roll them in your choice of garnish: colored or powdered sugar, cocoa powder, flaked coconut, finely chopped nuts, whatever you like.

These cute little Easter eggs look great decorating a platter with an Easter Bunny Cake!
