Easy sweet and creamy buttercream truffles made red, white and blue for the Fourth of July. They are covered in melted white chocolate, with a sweet and buttery center. Everyone will love these easy candies this summer.
The truffles are made by mixing butter with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Divide the mixture into three bowls, and make one red, one blue and leave one white. Take a small amount of each and roll together into balls. Freeze the truffles while you melt the chocolate. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave until it is fully melted and smooth. Coat each truffle in the chocolate and set onto a plate. Let sit until it is completely set.
