Banana Bread Truffles

Ingredients

• 1 loaf banana bread
• 1 16 oz container cream cheese frosting
• 1 16 oz pkg White Chocolate Candiquik
• Chopped walnuts optional
• Cinnamon optional

Instructions

• Cook and cool your banana bread, if making homemade.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silpat mat, set aside.
• In large bowl add banana bread and crumble into crumbs.
• Add in your container of cream cheese frosting and mix until combined.
• Using a cookie scoop grab your batter and roll into balls and place on prepared pans and freeze for about 30 minutes.
• Melt your candiquik according to package directions.
• Using spoon dip your banana bread balls into melted chocolate and spoon around to coat and place back on baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and a little bit of cinnamon and let set.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

• Using candiquik or white chocolate melting wafers always makes an amazing coating, that is why I like using this. You can also use white chocolate and melt it that way, but white chocolate likes to seize up when melting so I avoid it most of the time.
• Switch it up, chocolate and bananas go super well together, use chocolate candiquik or melting wafers for a different flavor combination.
• These are technically also considered cake pops, just without the stick, you can insert a stick and make the into cake pops instead of truffles if you like.
• These do not require refrigeration, so you can leave them in a ziploc bag on the counter.
• You can add nuts in the mixture if you really want that banana nut bread type of texture instead of sprinkling them on the top.
