Red Velvet Cake Balls
Red Velvet Cake Balls
Enjoy these delicious and beautiful cake balls from our cookbook 101 Hearty Recipes. They were sent to us by our good friend Lana Rulevish from Ashley, Illinois. Lana says her family especially enjoys these treats around the holidays, but she can make them year 'round they're so good.
18-1/2 oz. pkg. red velvet cake mix
16-oz. container cream cheese frosting
16-oz. pkg. regular or white melting chocolate
Prepare and bake cake mix following package directions for a 13"x9" cake; let cool. Crumble cooled cake into a large bowl. Stir in cream cheese frosting. Roll mixture into balls the size of quarters. Place on baking sheets and chill for several hours or overnight. Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Dip cake balls into chocolate and place on wax paper. Let sit until firm. Makes about 4 dozen.
