Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces cherry chip cake mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces bright pink candy wafer melts
- 4 ounces white almond bark
Instructions
- Heat treat cake mix: Pour the dry cake mix into a medium-sized heat-safe bowl. Microwave in two 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Let the cake mix cool completely.
- Mix cream cheese: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat the cream cheese for 2 to 2½ minutes until completely smooth.
- Combine cake mix and cream cheese: Sprinkle the cooled cake mix over the cream cheese. Mix until fully incorporated and the desired consistency is reached.
- Chill the mixture: Cover the cream cheese mixture tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Shape the bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cheesecake dough, roll into a ball, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt the candy wafers: Microwave the candy wafer melts in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Coat the cheesecake bites: Roll the cheesecake balls in the melted candy coating. Gently tap to remove excess coating and place them back on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle with almond bark: Microwave the white almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the coated cheesecake bites using a spoon or small candy dipper.
- Chill until set: Return the bites to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Be sure to heat treat the cake mix to avoid any risks from consuming raw flour.
- You can use any other color of candy wafers to customize the look of your cheesecake bites.
- For added decoration, consider sprinkling some extra cherry chips or edible glitter on top after drizzling with almond bark.
