# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get all the nostalgic comfort of banana pudding in something you can pop in your mouth in one bite
  • The creamy center contrasts perfectly with the crisp white chocolate shell while Easter sprinkles make them feel festive without extra effort
02 -
  • The truffle centers must be thoroughly chilled before dipping or they will melt right through your white chocolate coating creating a mess
  • Work quickly when adding sprinkles because the white chocolate sets faster than you expect especially if your kitchen is cool
03 -
  • If your white chocolate seizes while melting stir in a teaspoon of vegetable oil to smooth it back out
  • Use a fork to lift truffles from the chocolate tapping it against the bowl edge to remove excess coating
