Tips For Perfect Results

Make sure that cream cheese is room temp before you start. Let your formed bites warm up a bit before dipping to prevent cracks. Use a fork for dipping to get that perfect coating. Want to make them extra special? Add sprinkles or crushed candies while the coating's still wet.

Keep Them Fresh

These little beauties will stay perfect in the fridge for about 5 days in an airtight container. Want to make them ahead? Freeze the uncoated bites for up to 2 months just thaw overnight before you dip them. Serve them chilled or room temp they're amazing either way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why heat treat the cake mix?

Heat treating the dry cake mix eliminates any risk from raw flour, making these treats food-safe without baking.

Why do the coatings crack sometimes?

Temperature differences between the cold bites and warm chocolate can cause cracking. Let bites come to room temperature before dipping.

Can I use different cake mix flavors?

Yes! This recipe works with any cake mix flavor. Just match your coating color to complement the flavor.

Why chill before coating?

Chilling helps the mixture firm up for easier rolling and dipping. Overnight chilling prevents expansion that could crack the coating.

Can I freeze these?

Freeze uncoated bites for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before coating with chocolate.
