  • Once the cake is cooled, crumble it into a large bowl and beat it with an electric mixer until reduced to fine crumbs.

  • Place one tablespoon of the mixture onto the palm of your hand, and put a dollop of frozen jam in the middle. Form the crumb mixture into a ball around the jam and place on the prepared baking sheet.  Place finished bites in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • While bites are nearly chilled, in a small bowl, melt white chocolate chips, (or almond bark or vanilla baking chips) in the microwave at 30 second increments, stirring each time until melted and smooth.

  • One at a time, place each truffle on a fork and roll the bite around in the chocolate, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Using a toothpick, gently ease the dipped bite onto the waxed paper.
  • If you want to get fancy; drizzle a little chocolate on top or hit them with some sprinkles.
  • Repeat until all truffle bites are coated. If the chocolate thickens as you work, pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds and stir. This will likely happen because the frozen bites cool the chocolate.
