    I am a geeky obsessed fan of Harry Potter and these themed chocolate truffles were bound to show up here sooner or later. These Cake Truffles (With Cake Mix) would also be a fun addition to birthday parties. They would be so quick to disappear from a dessert table.

    How to make DIY Harry Potter golden snitch truffles or balls?

    1. Coat truffles- With edible gold color.
    2. Make wings- With wafer paper.
    3. Stick wings- With melted chocolate.

    • Wizard hats- These can be made with ice cream cones.
    • Decorated cookies- They can be decorated with house names or 9 ¾ or perhaps even faces of Harry, Ron and Hermoine.

    Tips and variations

    • Homemade truffles vs. Store-bought truffles- Either can be used. Store-bought version is obviously more quick and convenient. For homemade version, try these Healthy Chocolate Truffles.
    • Edible spray vs. Golden pearl dust- Either can be used. The spray provides more coverage.
    • What truffles to use? Try Lindt balls, Ferrero Rocher balls. Some of these candy wrappers are already golden and you can omit the step of coloring them.
    • Where to buy edible colors? They can be ordered online from Amazon or Wilton or you can find them in the cake decorating aisle at Hobby Lobby or Michaels.
    • Turn into these cake pops- Make these Cake Pops and decorate the same way.
    • Wear gloves- The warmth of your fingers can melt chocolate and make smudges. However, this can be reduced heavily if you wear disposable plastic gloves.
    • Don't use too much melted chocolate- This is used to stick the wings on the chocolate balls but using too much would make unattractive little blobs. A small amount goes a long way plus it dries quicker too.
    • Decorate with sanding sugar- Coat the chocolate balls with melted chocolate and then cover it entirely in gold sanding sugar. That's another idea you can try.
    • Make fondant wings- Use Homemade Marshmallow Fondant to make wing shapes and let them air dry until hard and then stick them on the balls with melted chocolate. In my opinion, using wafer paper is so much faster and easier.

    Storage

    • Room temperature- Store in a covered box away from moisture, humidity and heat for 3-5 days.
    • Refrigerate- In a covered box away from moisture, humidity and heat for 3-5 days.
    • Freeze- This is not recommended since wafer paper does not thaw well and can curl.
    • Make ahead instructions- These can be made 2-3 days in advance and stored at room temperature or refrigerator.

    Ingredients
      

    • 10 Chocolate truffles Such as Lindt or Ferrero Rocher
    • 2 sheets Wafer paper
    • ⅓ cup Melted chocolate

    Instructions
     

    • Unwrap truffle balls and brush it entirely with golden pearl dust or use golden edible spray. I highly recommend wearing disposable plastic gloves when holding onto the ball and brushing it with pearl dust. If not, the warmth of your fingers will cause the truffle to melt and create ugly smudges.
    • Now, cut out two wing shapes (same size) out of wafer paper.
    • Brush some gold pearl dust on the wings.
    • Fill a piping with melted chocolate.
    • Squeeze a bit of melted chocolate on the sides of the golden truffle.
    • Stick the wafer paper wings on the melted chocolate.
    • You will have to hold them in place for about a minute to really secure them and you are done. Enjoy!

    Notes

    • Read all my tips above.
    • Leftovers can be stored in a cardboard box at room temperature for 3-5 days.
