02 - Beat in the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
03 - Fold in the vanilla wafer crumbs until a thick dough forms.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste exactly like the banana pudding you grew up eating, but in poppable bite sized form
  • The no bake situation means your oven stays free for the actual Easter ham
02 -
  • Chilling the truffle centers is absolutely mandatory, or they will slide right off your dipping fork into a sad chocolate puddle
  • Work quickly once you start dipping, because the cold centers will cause the melted chocolate to thicken faster than you expect
03 -
  • Keep a fork or dipping tool in one hand and sprinkles in the other so you never miss that critical decorating window
  • If your chocolate gets too thick while dipping, add a teaspoon of vegetable shortening to smooth it out again
