Take the wrappers off the chocolate truffle kisses and place in the freezer. Combine the dry cake mix, butter, egg, strawberry extract and mix until a soft dough forms. Add the cream cheese and mix in completely. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.

Let cool completely before placing in a sealed container on the counter. Enjoy!
