# Ingredients You’ll Need:

25 ounces strawberry cake mix
02 -
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
→ Coating
03 -
12 ounces pink candy wafer melts
04 -
4 ounces white almond bark, optional for drizzle
# How to Make It:
01 -
Pour the strawberry cake mix into a medium heat-safe bowl. Microwave in two 30-second increments, stirring after each interval. Allow mix to cool completely.
02 -
In a medium mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed to beat the softened cream cheese for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until smooth.
03 -
Gradually sprinkle the cooled cake mix over the cream cheese. Mix until fully incorporated with no dry pockets remaining.
04 -
Cover the cream cheese mixture tightly and refrigerate for 2 hours.
05 -
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
06 -
Place pink candy wafer melts in a heat-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until fully melted.
07 -
Scoop and roll portions of the chilled mixture. Submerge each ball into the melted candy wafers, allowing excess coating to drip off. Place coated bites on a fork, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet using a toothpick if needed.
08 -
Return all coated bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate.
09 -
In a small heat-safe bowl, microwave white almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted.
