No Blue Balls on Valentine’s Day … only red. : )
Red Velvet Cake
Cream Cheese Frosting
Chocolate Wafers
Once cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl, mix in cream cheese frosting thoroughly. May be easier (and more fun) to do with hands but definitely messier!
Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet, should make 40-50. Chill for several hours – and be patient and make sure it’s really cooled down or it will get gooey.
Melt chocolate wafers in the microwave or stovetop method. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)
Enjoy!
