Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking pan according to package instructions for the vanilla cake mix.
  2. Bake the cake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork.
  4. Mix in the strawberry frosting until moldable and combined well.
  5. Optionally fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries for added texture.
  6. Roll the mixture into 1-2 tablespoon-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes.
  8. Melt pink candy melts and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
  9. Dip each truffle into the melted coating, letting excess drip off before placing back on the sheet.
  10. Decorate with colorful toppings or additional crushed strawberries before the coating sets.
  11. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the truffles for decoration, if desired.
  12. Let truffles cool completely until set, then serve or store in an airtight container.
