Before you start on this recipe, the red velvet cake needs to be baked and cooled. Once made, break apart the cake into fine crumbs.
1 red velvet cake
Add softened block of cream cheese, white cake frosting and mini chocolate chips. Blend all ingredients together well. It helps to use a spatula.
8 oz. cream cheese, 1/2 cup white frosting, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Once cake mixture is blended, use a tablespoon scoop to portion out dough. Roll into your hands and place onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
When baking sheet is full, freeze cake balls for 30 minutes.
Dipping Cake Balls in Chocolate
Place half of the chocolate bark into a microwave safe bowl and microwave according to package directions. Using a fork, dip cake bites into melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate fall back into the bowl, and place chocolate covered ball onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
24 oz. chocolate almond bark
Before the chocolate hardens and sets, sprinkle with white or holiday sprinkles. Working in batches, repeat until all cake balls are covered and decorated. Let set to harden, which works great in fridge or freezer if you need it to set quickly.

Notes
Any type of cake and frosting flavor can be used.
Work chocolate in batches so the shell doesn't harden before decorating.
Store cake balls in an airtight container in fridge.
