Red Velvet Cake Balls

Ingredients

1 box Red Velvet Cake mix

8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature

1 package vanilla almond bark

Red and pink sprinkles, for decoration

Red chocolate melting candies, for drizzling

Directions

1.

Prepare the Red Velvet Cake according to package directions. I find it’s easiest to bake it in a 9 x 13 dish so there are fewer edges than round cake pans or 8 x 8 dishes.
2.

Let the cake cool completely.
3.

Once cool, use a fork to fluff the cake into crumbs.
4.

Transfer the crumbs to a large bowl.
5.

Add the cream cheese and combine it with the cake crumbs. I find it is easiest doing this with a wooden spatula or your hands.
6.

Using a cookie scoop, form the cake mixture into balls — about the size of 2 tablespoons.
7.

Place the balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
8.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
9.

After 30 minutes, melt the vanilla almond bark according to the package directions.
10.

Dip a cake ball into the vanilla almond bark, and then place it on the parchment paper. I like to use two forks to do this.
11.

Immediately add the sprinkles: the almond bark hardens quickly so you have to do it after dipping each one! Repeat until all the cake balls are dipped. Optional: I drizzled red melting candies on some of the cake balls. Find red melting candies such as Wilton Red Candy Melts® and Supernatural Kitchen Red Plant-Based Melting Morsels on online retail sites.
