These are always a big hit. Most people think
they are peanut butter balls at first, so
when they find out there's cake inside, they
are really intrigued.
A few of my friends are addicted to them
and have tried other cake flavors, but I love
the red velvet.
Here's the recipe if you want to try them. And if you do, let
me know what you think.

Okay, what's your secret to beautifully
smooth and even chocolate? How do you get
the whole ball covered so beautifully with no
lumps bumps dips or divits???? They're just
beautiful.

Wow! thanks for the compliments.
Hi Alana - I try to get them as smooth as I
can by hand first. Then they stay in the
fridge for several hours or the freezer if
I'm short on time. This helps to keep their
shape when dipped in chocolate. As for the
chocolate, I use a small bowl and heat a few
bars of chocolate bark at a time. Then I drop
each ball in one at a time and use a spoon to
cover with surrounding chocolate. Using the
same spoon, I tap it off on the side of the
bowl before I lay it on wax paper. There's
probably a better way, but this works for me.
A friend also uses a mini ice cream scooper
and hers look even smoother. They just come
out smaller than mine.
You can see what the cake balls look like
before I cover them in chocolate here.
By the way, they're totally worth the
effort.

Inspired by your blog and photos, made red
velvet *bon bons* with dark chocolate last
week and they were utterly delightful --
thanks for sharing your recipe. Will try
them with white chocolate next time.

I've never heard of such a thing, but am
totally intrigued. Thanks for the recipe,
I'm going to try this. Covered in white
chocolate they would be perfect for a
Valentine's Day dinner.

They do look really pretty in white
chocolate, but for me they taste the best
with regular chocolate. Hope you make some.
You won't be disappointed.

Thanks for letting me know. Perhaps I'll
cover them in regular chocolate and then
drizzle with white. Can't wait to try these!

Or… get the best of both and make half
chocolate and half white and drizzle each
with the other. I might even have to go make
some more myself.

cover the cake ball and just add the
flavoring or is it not the same sorry so many
questions but i want everything to come out
perfect for my lil girls party well close to

I get it at the grocery store. You can always
make the cake balls with another flavor cake mix or even a
homemade red velvet recipe if you can't find
one in stores. It's adaptable.

I used your recipe and made these for my
engagement party. Everyone thought they were
from the bakery! And I have been hearing
about them ever since. I just saw some of
your other ideas and Im going to have to do
the nutter butter balls next! You are amazing
and a great inspiration!

Oh! We had a fiesta a few days ago and one of
my friends made them! She used dark
chocolate!! It was so good. I think it would
be so cute for baby showers if you changed
the color of the chocolate.
Love your recipe!
