Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Banana Split Truffles
  1. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine heat-treated white cake mix, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and dough-like.
  3. Fold in the crushed pineapple, chopped walnuts, and banana slices gently using a spatula.
  4. Using a cookie scoop, portion out 1 to 1½ inch balls of the mixture and roll them gently between your palms to create a smooth surface.
  5. Refrigerate the truffle balls for about 1 hour.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy coating in 30-second intervals until completely smooth.
  7. Carefully dip each chilled truffle into the melted coating, allowing any excess coating to drip off.
  8. Place the coated truffles in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate shell.
  9. Drizzle melted chocolate topping over each truffle and place a cherry on top for a classic banana split finish.
  10. Allow the decorated truffles to set in the refrigerator once more for about 15 minutes.
