Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the funfetti cake mix and the almond flour onto the parchment paper and spread out slightly so they are thinned out across the whole pan.
Bake at 350°F for 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Set aside the parchment paper lined baking sheet as you'll use it again.

To a food processor, add the funfetti cake mix, almond flour, softened butter, sugar, flour, and vanilla. Pulse until the ingredients are combined and a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a large bowl. Add all except for about 1 Tablespoonful of the sprinkles, setting aside the Tablespoonful to use for the decoration.
Mix the rest of the sprinkles into the dough until well incorporated.
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out the dough, then press between your hands to help the dough stick together, and then gently roll into a ball. If some of the dough crumbles while trying to form the dough ball, continue to press it together in your hands until it stays together, then very gently roll it into a ball between the palms of your hands.
Place onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat until you've used all of the dough.
Freeze the truffle balls for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, make the coating.

Add the chopped almond bark to a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, whisking in between intervals, until the bark coating is smooth.
Whisk in the coconut oil.
After the dough has been in the freezer for 10 minutes, use two forks to carefully dip each dough ball into the coating, then return to the baking sheet. Immediately add some sprinkles to the top while the coating is still wet, before it sets.
Repeat coating and sprinkling the remaining truffles.
Chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the coating to set completely before enjoying.

Makes approximately 30-36 truffles.

Tips:

The measurement for coconut oil is for solid coconut oil. So measure out 1 teaspoon of solid coconut oil, then melt.
Don't skip the first step of pre-treating the flours! Not all funfetti cake mixes contain pre-treated flour. Raw flour is unsafe to eat, according to the FDA. Baking the cake mix and the almond flour just for 5 minutes in a 350°F oven makes it safe to eat.

Storage: store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 or 4 days.
