Red Velvet Cake Bites!

These red velvet cake bites may just be my favorite thing ever! I got this idea from a catering company we order from at work all the time. Ever since the first time I made them, I have been craving them and love to make them any chance I get. Even my pitcher who does not express emotion or excitement over anything has made it very clear that he loves these cake bites! I will warn you that you may not be able to stop eating these once you start, so make at your own risk! ;)

Ingredients
1 Box Red Velvet Cake Mix
1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
1-1/4 Cups Water
3 Large Eggs
2/3 Tub of Cream Cheese Frosting
1 Package Vanilla Almond Bark

Bake cake according to package instructions in a 9 x 13 pan. Let the cake cool and then cut into 6 large pieces.

Crumble the pieces with your hands into a medium size bowl.

Add the 2/3 of a tub of cream cheese frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix together with your hands until all of the white frosting is mixed in. This is one of my favorite parts! ;)

Once the cake and frosting are mixed together, start pulling off bits of the mixture and rolling these into 1-1/2 inch balls.

Refrigerate or freeze the balls for about 30 minutes, so they are firm and easy to work with.

Slowly melt the vanilla almond bark either on the stove or in the microwave. Make sure you stir frequently to ensure that you do not burn the almond bark!

Roll the chilled cake balls into the melted almond bark to fully coat. Either you can remove the coated cake balls with a spoon and place onto a plate for them to harden or at this point, you can also add a lollipop stick in order to make cake pops. To cool the cake pops while allowing them to remain round, I use a pasta strainer turned upside down and place the lollipop sticks in the strainer holes.

Let the cake bites or cake pops harden and enjoy!! :)
