Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface to place your truffles after shaping.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heat-treated white cake mix, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Mix until dough-like consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, chopped walnuts, and diced banana slices into your mixture.
  4. Using a cookie scoop, portion out 1 to 1.5-inch pieces of the dough, rolling them into smooth balls.
  5. Refrigerate the shaped truffle balls for at least 1 hour, allowing them to firm up.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy coating in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted candy coating, ensuring they are thoroughly covered.
  8. Melt the chocolate melting wafers and drizzle over the coated truffles. Place a maraschino cherry on each truffle and sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles.
  9. Place the decorated Banana Split Truffles back in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set.
