Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix
  • 3 eggs, as needed Typically 3
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
For the Frosting
  • 1 cup cream cheese frosting Store-bought or homemade
For Coating and Decorating
  • 1 pound white chocolate or chocolate candy melts
  • sprinkles or decorative topping of your choice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bake the Cake: Follow the instructions on the cake mix box, preparing the red velvet cake as directed. Once baked, allow it to cool completely.
  2. Crumble the Cake: Once cool, crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl until it resembles fine crumbs.
  3. Mix & Roll: Add the cream cheese frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until fully combined. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Chill: Pop the baking sheet in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up the cake balls.
  5. Melt the Coating: While the balls chill, melt the chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  6. Dunk & Decorate: Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place them back on the parchment and add sprinkles before the coating sets.
