I’m no dietician, but here’s what I brought to a cookie exchange on Sunday! I combined three recipes to make one delicious batch of Red Velvet Cake Balls.
I started with Iowa Girl Eats Red Velvet Cake Balls. Except I took Hungry Girl’s can of pumpkin swap for the cake mix. And then took Kylie Rae‘s recipe for the Kahlua frosting. I only added Kahlua to the frosting, so you can barely taste it, but the next time I might have to add it to the cake mix like she did!
I rolled these cake balls much smaller. Usually they end up golf ball sized and are 2-3 bites. These were bouncy ball sized and more of a 1-2 bite treat.
I also only dipped half the ball in the milk chocolate, letting some of the red velvet shine through. I still drizzled with white chocolate, because yum.
These means I didn’t use all the melting chocolate that Iowa Girl Eats calls for, so I recommend buying the 8 oz boxes and only melting one box at a time.
Red velvet is everything. And these look delicious. That is all.
this looks delicious. would you believe that i had my very first cake ball last weekend? i tried cookies and cream and a brownie and was blown away. what have i been waiting for??
yay! i like them best because they don’t dry out as quickly, I can easy keep them in the freezer and pull out for unexpected visitors.
Love red velvet… but I’ve never heard of pumpkin instead of cake mix! Could you taste the pumpkin?
I couldn’t taste the pumpkin, but if you used a spice cake mix instead of red velvet I think you would! Hungry Girl recommends Devils Food Chocolate Cake with the can of pumpkin, which I’ve never done, but sounds amazing!
These look really good! Consider them pinned!
Woohoo! I’m a lazy blogger so I don’t have it all “pin it” ready, but they are super good if you need a treat for a holiday party!
