Instructions
For the Cookie Dough:
- Allow butter to come to room temperature.

- Add flour, dry cake mix and salt. Mix just until combined. Mixture will be crumbly.
- Add vanilla and butter extract and milk. Mix until dough is soft. Add chocolate chips and sprinkles last.
- Line a 9×9” pan with parchment paper, over the top edge. Empty the cookie dough into the pan and gently press dough into the pan with your fingers.
For the Truffle:
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate chips with heavy cream. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Remove bowl from microwave (careful, it’s hot!). Whisk together until chocolate starts to melt.
- Return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds. Remove and whisk until smooth.
- Pour melted chocolate over top of cookie dough. Top with additional sprinkles.
- Leave on the counter for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to cool then refrigerate until firm.
- Remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before serving. Lift parchment paper out of pan and cut bars into squares.
