Ingredients
Scale
Cake Balls
- 1 white cake mix, prepared according to box directions, cooled
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 16 ounces vanilla almond bark
- Candy eyes, as needed for decoration
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven according to the white cake mix package instructions. Bake the cake as directed on the box and allow it to cool completely to ensure easy handling and mixing.
- Prepare the Cake Mixture: Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and use an electric mixer to combine thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and can hold together when rolled.
- Form Cake Balls: Roll the mixture into approximately 2-tablespoon sized balls. Place each cake ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet for stability.
- Freeze Cake Balls: Freeze the cake balls for 30 minutes. This chilling step makes dipping in the almond bark smoother and helps them hold their shape.
- Melt Almond Bark: Following the package directions, melt the vanilla almond bark until smooth and ready for dipping.
- Dip and Decorate: Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted almond bark to fully coat it. Immediately press two candy eyes onto each coated ball to give them their mummy look.
- Add Mummy Details: Allow the initial coating to harden, then drizzle additional melted almond bark over the cake balls to create a mummy wrap effect for a spooky finish.
- Serve: Let the coating set completely before serving to enjoy these adorable and delicious mummy cake balls at your next event!
Notes
- Freezing the cake balls before dipping is optional but recommended for better coating results.
- If you want to enhance flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cake and cream cheese mixture.
- Use candy melts of different colors if you want to customize the appearance of your mummy cake balls.
- Store leftover mummy cake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
