Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch red velvet cake from a boxed mix, baked in a 9×13-inch pan
  • 1 container cream cheese frosting (16 ounces)
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chopped or in candy melt form
  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil plus more, if needed
  • Sprinkles optional

Instructions
 

  • Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Slowly mix in the cream cheese frosting until the mixture resembles a thick cookie dough; you might not need to use all of the frosting.

  • Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill or freeze the balls for about 15 minutes to firm up.

  • Melt the white chocolate and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts (around 30 seconds) stirring frequently until smooth. If the chocolate is too thick for dipping, add a small amount more of oil and mix to combine.
  • Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, tapping off any excess. If desired, immediately add sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
