Random Dessert Post

Have you ever had a cake ball? No? You need to try it!!! I saw a recipe on red velvet cake balls (I think on pinterest) and was too excited to try it.

People say that they are easy to make... and they are; they're just a labor of love for me because of the time it takes to make them.

These beginning and middle pictures were taken by the person who's blog I got the recipe from. The finished product picture is mine.











Red Velvet Cake Balls
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake) 
  • 1 can cream cheese frosting (16 oz.) 
  • 1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate) - I used meltable white chocolate (bark or morsels) -
  • wax paper
Instructions
1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can cream cheese frosting. (It may be easier to use fingers to mix together, but be warned it will get messy.)
3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50. You can get even more if you use a mini ice cream scooper, but I like to hand roll them.)
4. Chill for several hours. (You can speed this up by putting in the freezer.)
5. Melt chocolate in microwave per directions on package.
6. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)
I also only melt a few pieces of chocolate bark at a time because it starts to cool and thicken. It’s easier to work with when it’s hot.


My finished product. And it is YUMMY to my TUMMY!!!!
