RED VELVET CAKE BALLS: EASY RECIPE

Red Velvet Cake Balls are a delicious sweet treat you can make for the holidays, Valentine’s Day or really any time. They make a great treat for birthday and other parties, too.

Making cake balls can be time consuming, which is why I start with a boxed mix. You can use your own homemade cream cheese frosting, or pick up a can at the grocery store. Either way, you’re going to love these decadent Red Velvet Cake Balls. Cake balls are so much easier to make than cake pops because you don’t have to worry about them staying on the stick. How gloriously amazing to mix red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and cover them with white chocolate.
