Notes
Consistency: If the mixture feels too dry or crumbly, you can add a little more softened cream cheese to help bind everything together.
Freezing Tip: Make sure to freeze the cake balls for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in chocolate. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
Melting Chocolate: When melting the white and red chocolate wafers, do so in short bursts in the microwave, stirring in between, to prevent burning. You can also use a double boiler if you prefer.
Decoration Variations: Feel free to get creative with the toppings! You could use colored sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or even drizzle with melted milk chocolate for extra flavor.
Storage: Store the finished cake balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They’re perfect for holiday gifting or snacking!
