# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These truffles capture everything nostalgic about banana pudding but in adorable bite sized form
  • No oven required means you can make them even when your kitchen schedule is already packed with holiday baking
02 -
  • Skip the chilling step and your truffles will slide right off the dipping fork creating a chocolatey disaster
  • Work quickly when adding sprinkles because the white chocolate coating firms up much faster than you expect
03 -
  • For extra banana flavor whisk a few drops of banana extract into the pudding mixture before adding cream cheese
  • If your chocolate coating becomes too thick while working add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin it back to dipping consistency
