Nail It Every Time
Set the cream cheese out early so it's good and soft. Don't dip the bites straight from the fridge—let 'em warm up so you don't get cracks. Dipping with a fork keeps things neat. Want them to stand out? Toss on sprinkles or candy bits before the shell hardens.
Stash 'Em Right
They keep great in a sealed container in the fridge for around five days. Getting ready early? You can freeze the undipped balls for up to two months—just let them thaw overnight, then finish decorating. Eat them cold or at room temp, they're awesome either way.

Common Questions
- → What’s the reason for heating cake mix?
Warming up the cake mix takes care of any germs in the flour, so you can safely eat these balls without popping them in the oven.
- → How come the chocolate cracks sometimes?
If the inside is too cold but the chocolate's still warm, the shell can break. Let the balls warm up a bit before dunking.
- → Could I swap out the cake mix flavor?
For sure! Any flavor of cake mix will do. Pick a chocolate color that matches up with your chosen flavor.
- → Why do you cool the mix before covering it in chocolate?
Chilling stiffens the mixture, which makes shaping and dipping way easier. Leaving them in the fridge overnight keeps the balls from puffing up and messing with the chocolate shell.
- → Is it okay to put these in the freezer?
You can freeze them before dipping for two months tops. Thaw them in the fridge first, then cover in chocolate.
