Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrot cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option). Blend until smooth.
  2. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and bake for around 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
  3. Crumble the cooled cake into a mixing bowl and combine crumbs with the vanilla frosting until a moist dough forms.
  4. Roll about a tablespoon of the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  5. Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  6. Dip each truffle in melted coating, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  7. Drizzle remaining melted chocolate over truffles and sprinkle with decorative options. Let them sit for 15 minutes to set.
  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
