Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of crushed vanilla wafers, ½ cup of softened cream cheese, 3.4 oz of dry banana pudding mix, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
  2. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, add 2 cups of white chocolate chips or candy melts. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth (about 1-2 minutes). Optionally add food coloring.
  4. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring they are fully coated, and allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
  5. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with crushed vanilla wafers or colorful Easter sprinkles.
  6. Let the truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Once set, arrange in a decorative bowl or gift box for serving.
