February is considered the month of love, so why not bake delicious sweet treats at home for your loved ones as a form of appreciation for them? Here are some recipes to try at home!
Recipe #1: Red Velvet Cake Balls
Ingredients:
Betty Crocker™ Red Velvet Cake Mix
Eggs
Oil
Water/Milk
Betty Crocker™ Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting
White chocolate chips/any of choice
Directions:
Prepare your cake by following the package instructions in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the cake batter into a greased baking dish at 350 degrees F in an oven until it is baked.
Once the cake is fully cool, crumble it in a large bowl or in the baking dish that it’s in. Set aside ⅓ of crumbled cake for decoration (optional).
Stir frosting into crumbled cake, then cover with plastic wrap and freeze until chilled.
With a cookie scoop or estimation, roll the mixture into small balls that are evenly sized and put them on a large baking sheet. Freeze again until they are solid.
Take them out, then place balls on a cookie sheet.
Melt candy melts/chocolates in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Place balls into a fork and dip into melted chocolate. Tap the fork onto the bowl to get rid of excess chocolate. Put them back on the cookie sheet and add the 1/3 leftover cake crumble on top. Repeat for all the cake balls.
Let the cake balls sit at room temperature until solid and enjoy! :-)
