- Melt the coating: While the truffles are chilling, melt the almond bark or vanilla-flavored coating in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the truffles: Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted coating, ensuring it's fully covered.
- Decorate: Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with red, white, and blue sprinkles.
- Set the coating: Allow the truffles to sit at room temperature until the coating hardens.
- Serve: Once set, the truffles are ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure the truffles are fully chilled before dipping to prevent the coating from melting.
- If the coating hardens too quickly during dipping, reheat it gently in the microwave for a few seconds.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
