Preparation

Step 1

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Pour entire bag of cake mix into the mixer and beat on medium speed until the cake mix and cream cheese are well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl often.
Add powdered sugar and sprinkles and mix on low speed until completely combined, scraping the sides often.
Using a small cookie dough scoop, scoop dough onto a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper. Freeze the truffles for at least 20 minutes.
When truffles are frozen (they’ll be slightly soft, even when frozen), heat one candiquik tray in the microwave according to the directions on the package.
Working quickly, dip truffles into the candiquik while it sits on a fork. Lift the fork out of the candiquik, allowing the coating to drip off. Place each truffle back on the parchment paper.
Wait for the first layer of candiquik to harden, then repeat this process. Heat the second tray of candiquik when you run out of the first. In the second coating, work with only two truffles at a time, stopping to sprinkle valentine’s day sprinkles over the top of the wet candy coating. If you wait too long, the sprinkles will not stick.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat, for up to 5 days.
