Ingredients

Not only are Easy White Chocolate Truffles simple enough for anyone one to make, they also only require four ingredients. These silky candy confections are a perfect way to get your kids in the kitchen and introduce them to the fun of cooking, baking, and creating!

• Sweetened Condensed Milk - Thick, luscious, and syrupy, this sweetened milk has had the water removed from it, concentrating both its flavor and texture. This helps prevent the chocolate from becoming hard while also giving the truffles their smooth texture.
• White Chocolate - This is the star of the truffles so use a high-quality white chocolate. White chocolate isn't actually made from cocoa solids but instead is made from cocoa butter.
• Butter - Butter makes everything better including these sumptuous truffles. Melted down with the first two ingredients, it gives them additional richness while also lending to their incredible smooth bite.
• Powdered Sugar - Part of the fun of eating these truffles in the little flecks of powdered sugar that linger. The powdered sugar not only makes these truffles beautiful but also prevents them from being too sticky.

Variations

Powdered sugar is a classic coating for truffles, especially white chocolate truffles. However, you can have fun mixing up what you roll these in. Finely flaked coconut will keep these looking pristine and white. Crushed peppermint will give them a festive flavor and appearance. And for a spin on cookies and cream, finely crushed chocolate sandwich cookies also make a great coating for these.
