12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GOODIES (Day 8): Red Velvet Cake Balls - Reindeer

Day 8 of 12 Days of Christmas Goodies

Red Velvet Cake Balls - Reindeer

Red Velvet Cake Balls are an annual Holiday Tradition in our home! I only started making these a few years ago and now we don't go without them at Christmas time (and a few other times throughout the year). Everyone loves them and they are thee most requested holiday treat I've ever made. This year is no different. This is my first batch so far this month and I know there will be many more. My twins are taking these cute little reindeer to math class tomorrow. I know all the kids in their class (which are all girls) and their awesome math teachers are going to LOVE them!

This recipe is already on my blog. So, it's a repeat. But SO worth repeating. Here is my post from last year when I made them. Red Velvet Cake Balls

Red Velvet Cake Balls
recipe for cake balls received from a facebook friend

idea for Reindeer found at Lisa Storms

1 box Red Velvet Cake (cook as directed on box in a 9x13 pan)

1 can cream cheese frosting

2 pkg White or Chocolate Bark (or melting chocolate from a cake store)

Make sure cake is completely cooled. Crumble into a large bowl and mix in frosting. Roll into quarter size balls (it's easier to use a small melon scoop); place on wax paper and then freeze for at least 3 hours. (I freeze overnight) Melt chocolate (a little at a time). Roll cake balls into white chocolate (use a spoon for less mess); and place back on wax paper. (I like to use sprinkles too)

For Reindeer: You can buy eyes from any cake store or I used melted white chocolate and a tube of black chocolate, both that dry well (do not use the gell stuff it does not dry). For the nose andy red candy, we used Cinnamon candies. Then we wslipped them in a baggie and add the piping stick to hold it close and become the antlers.

To Store: I keep them in the freezer until ready to serve or give away.
