Cake Bites

For Valentines Day I made cake bites for my husband. My friend Bethany sent me a recipe from a pretty neat website, however I tweaked it a little, cuz I'm picky about my sweets. I think they turned out really good, however I found out that I need to work on my drizzle skills... still yummy though!


Cake Bites

Ingredients: 
1 box of cake mix (I used chocolate, baked in 2 9 inch pans)
1 can cream cheese frosting (16 oz.)
12 oz of milk chocolate (and/or white chocolate for variety)
wax paper
Directions:
1. After you bake the cake, let it cool completely, crumble into large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can cream cheese frosting. (It's easier to use your hands, messy though)
3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet.
4. Put in the freezer for 3 hours (overnight for best results).
5. Double boil to melt the chocolate.
6. It's easiest to spoon the chocolate onto the frozen cake balls so they don't start to fall apart in the melted chocolate. Spread the chocolate evenly over all of the balls and place in the fridge for half an hour.
7. You can decorate the cake bites by melting white chocolate chips (also using the double boil method) and then carefully spoon into a zip lock bag and snip a small corner. Drizzle/design the bites freely. 
8. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

  1. Mmmm!! I love these! One thing that I found though when I made them, that it was easier to mix the cake and frosting with a fork. Just fold and press and it works like a charm without the messy hands!!
