Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the dry strawberry cake mix on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to heat-treat it. Let cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in the cooled cake mix until a thick dough forms.
  3. Fold in the cream cheese chips if using. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 2 hours.
  4. Roll the chilled dough into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  5. Melt the vanilla candy wafers and dip each truffle to coat. Place back on the baking sheet and decorate with sprinkles if desired.
  6. Melt the pink candy melts and drizzle over the truffles. Allow the coating to fully set before serving.
