Red Velvet Truffles

Red Velvet Truffles are a must make Valentine’s Day treat. So easy and oh so yummy!!! You will fall head over heels for these and if you want someone to fall in love with you, make them these sweet little bites.  I’m not kidding.

This recipe is all about Valentine’s Day, which is one of my favorite holidays when it comes to food. I know, it’s more than a month from the pinkest holiday of the year, but I couldn’t wait to share my favorite festive cupid inspired recipes with you.

My favorites from previous years were Ding Dong Chocolate Hearts and Oreo Truffles Valentine’s Heart. Oreo truffles are Valentine’s Day classic treat, but this year I’ve chosen different flavor -delicious Red Velvet Cake. I wanted to bring more changes compared to the previous desserts that were all in the shape of a heart, because beautiful red color of these truffles will be enough to make them perfect festive treat for the holiday that celebrates love.

Red Velvet Truffles are bites of red velvet cake rolled up and dipped in white chocolate. And when it’s about red velvet cake,  what goes perfectly with red velvet, besides white chocolate, cream cheese frosting may be the answer you’re looking for. Since I don’t like too sweet desert I decided to use just softened cream cheese instead frosting this time.

You know that I prefer homemade and made from scratch recipes and rarely use a box mix, but this time I made an exception. I want this recipe to be more than simple and easy to make. You’ll need only three ingredients: red velvet boxed cake mix, cream cheese and chocolate. These delicious Red Velvet Truffles are made of crumbled red velvet cake mixed with mixed with cream cheese, rolled into balls and then dipped into chocolate.
