Servings 20 Truffles
Ingredients

Toppings:

- Pour the lemon cake mix onto a baking sheet and spread it evenly. (You can substitute vanillas cake mix.)
- Bake for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix the baked cake mix, sugar, melted butter, lemon juice, and zest until it starts to form a dough.
- Scoop some dough into a spoon and roll each into 1 1/2-inch balls. Tip: Butter your hands with the solid cube of butter, so that the balls won’t be too sticky to handle.

Notes
- Freezing Instructions: For longer storage, store the truffles in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before enjoying.
- Lemon cake mix: I use lemon flavor, but you can also use vanilla cake mix.
- Butter: Use unsalted butter, otherwise, your truffles can taste too salty.
