- Parchment Paper
- Microwave-safe Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 package Red Velvet Cake Mix 15.25 ounce

- Vegetable oil as needed for cake mix
- Eggs as needed for cake mix
- 10 ounces Cream Cheese softened to room temperature
- 12 ounces White Chocolate Candy Melts or Almond Bark
- Festive Valentine's Sprinkles
Instructions
- First, effortlessly prepare your red velvet cake batter following the simple instructions on the cake mix box. Pour it evenly into a 9x13 inch baking pan and bake as directed until it’s perfectly set. Once baked, allow the cake to cool down completely to room temperature – this step is key for perfect truffles!
- When your cake is completely cool, gently remove and discard the very crispy outer edges (or save them for a snack!). In a large mixing bowl, crumble the rest of the soft cake into small, fluffy pieces. Now, add your softened cream cheese and, using your clean hands, mix everything together until a smooth, dough-like mixture forms. It’s a fun, hands-on part of the process!
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Scoop about two tablespoons of the cake mixture for each truffle and roll them into uniform, neat little balls. Place these beautiful red balls onto your lined baking sheet and pop them into the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time helps them firm up and makes them much easier to dip.
- While your truffles are chilling, prepare your luscious white chocolate coating. Place the white chocolate candy melts or almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is perfectly melted and silky smooth.
- Take your firm, chilled cake balls and carefully dip each one into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to gently drip off. Place them back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Before the chocolate fully sets, lavishly sprinkle them with festive Valentine's sprinkles, or add a delicate drizzle of extra white chocolate for an elegant touch.
- Allow your truffles to harden at room temperature, or for a quicker set, place them back into the freezer for a few minutes. Store these delightful, bite-sized treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Get ready to share these lovely creations with your Valentine!
