Christmas Dessert Recipe

Delicious Cake Bites




Makes 40-50 Cake Bites

Recipe by Kathy Oaks

   1 devil's food cake mix
   3 eggs
   1 1/4 cups water
   1/2 cup oil
   1/4 cup butter
   6 ounces cream cheese
   2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
   1 teaspoon vanilla
   Milk, enough to make a good frosting
   Dipping chocolate


Directions:

      Make cake according to directions on box and bake as directed. While baking mix together butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to make a frosting. When cake is done dump immediately into a large bowl with the cream cheese frosting (or store bought frosting) and mix it all together while still hot (it will be a little mushy). Refrigerate overnight. Roll into balls and dip in melted dipping chocolate. If balls are sticky I put them in freezer bags and flash freeze them until I'm ready to dip. They will freeze beautifully for months before they are dipped, just let them thaw for about 5 minutes before dipping to prevent cracking. Once cake bites are dipped do not refrigerate or freeze, just eat them!

*You can also use cream cheese frosting that you buy at the store.

**German chocolate cake mix mixed with german chocolate frosting and dipped in milk chocolate is also very tasty.

Kathy made these and brought them to the office. They were incredible! It is now my new favorite Christmas dessert.

What is dipping frosting?
KRIS
I can't wait to share this with my daughter! She's a physician by day and a gourmet baker on the side :) What a clever recipe, and it sounds delicious!
Wow!
Dipping chocolate or candy making chocolate melts and coats better than chocolate chips. You can buy it at Michaels, AC Moore, any craft store, some grocery stores, or online at Amazon.
Lisa
I made these with the reduced sugar cake mixes and frostings available, and they were just as tasty!
Judy
First, I love this video. It was charming b.c. it was real. These women could have easily been my sisters...very real and very fun (why I kept watching). Second, this recipe was truly fantastic. Great to make, and delicious! I'm telling everyone at Texas A&M I work with about this recipe. I can't wait to try this with the German Chocolate. Kathy - ROCK ON!

The demo spends too much time on some steps. This is a problem when I have limited time. I tried fastforwarding the video and then couldnt figure out how to go back to normal speed. I never finished watching.
Mary Karadsheh
Im getting rather frustrated as it wont let me just print this recipe. It keeps taking me to the demo for Cookin program, which I would like to get after the holidays for myself. so I guess Ill have to write it down but I have printed recipes from here before!!
Deb
Mary, (there is no tone in this message) - if you have limited time, just follow the written directions instead of the video. I never cook unless I have time - and sometimes that time is learning to cook the recipe. Good luck and Warm regards.
Erich in Lexington, TX
ok girls, hey I just want to be sure no one gets confused! As I turned in a recipe for a cookbook one time and realized after it was printed something missing!! But, in the instructions it doesnt mention adding the powdered sugar for the frosting. I know seems like a no brainer but for some that could be a confusing point, as they might leave it out and then wonder what was i supposed to do with the p.sugar? just trying to help prevent a mishap!
Deb
I had the same issue.
I downloaded to my cook'n software
You can also copy and paste to word or whatever.
Shari
Deb - you can highlight the recipe and at the top hit file and then print. WHen U get the printer pop-up, select print selection. But if U want to correct the powdered sugar ommission 1st, then copy/paste recipe to MS Word and make corrections there, then print.
Cher
I downloaded this into my download folder, then opened the program, I got a message that it added it, but I can't find the recipe in my recipies! I have 3 cookbooks: Cookn club cookbook, Cookn' with pillsbury and DVO.com recipe collection. I have looked everywhere and I can't find it. Any help?
Laura
Question: Can you put nuts in the cake mix before baking?
Jacquita
DO YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR PRINTING THE RECIPE
WANDA
I love the Christmas feel to the intro. Thanks Dan for spreading the joy of the season.
Andy
This recipe looks soo good! And the video was so cute. It's great to watch demo's when the demonstrators are having fun! I make goodies for my neighbors every Christmas, and this recipe is getting added to the list and baked tonight!
Dawn, Nevada
Laura - the recipe is titles cake bites, that's it...try doing a search for that. It should bring it up in the recipe list.
Diane
Its great to watch the video but you have a lot of noise at the end of it. Its electrnic interference at the end of Delicious Cake Bites.
Allen Luffman
I have not made them yet-- I am looking forward to it!! I love the girls!! They are so nice--clear and down to earth! THANKS!!!
KRISTINE GALLAGHER
I use a cookie drying rack with wax paper underneath,just dip and then put on the rack, the chocolate with drip to the wax paper. Softly bang the whole rack after you fill it up. You can reuse the stuff that drips. Saves some time.
Sean Bonser
What a terrific recipe! I'm doing this for Christmas gifts this year! Thank you.
Pauline
In my country, we go by liters or grams...so can anyone convert this recipe for me? I really wish to bake those Christmas dessert. If anyone can be so helpful please email at roxy_rockz95@hotmail.com
Thanks =)
Roxy
If anyone's made these, how much dipping chocolate do I need? One bag, two, three? Can't wait to make these!
Carolanne
thanks alot i will try to make this recipe soon God bless you .
vivian
I will make them with white cake mix and mix coconut and chopped pecans with the cream mixture and dip them in milk chocolate.....Martha Washingtons
judi benoit
Lemon with lemon white chocolate is awesome!
judi benoit
Carolanne, I use about 2 cups of dipping chocolate per cake.
Kathy
If using store bought cream cheese icing, how many containers do you need? One doesn't seem like enough...
gdtwin1
Some friends and former students of mine have been making these for years! Wonder where this little delicacy originated?
TxTeacher
Pretty Tip!... If you want to add a "gloss" to your chocolate coating. Melt the chocolate. Let it harden, then remelt it. When it sets up the second time it will dry glossy! Adds a bit of elegance to the chocolate!
Judy
The recipe file is does not import into cookn - no error message - just and empty cookbook
Carol Smith
I made them using the cream cheese in a container (Duncan Hines), vanilla chips and added colour gel and they were beautiful. While I liked these all right, I think the container cream cheese frosting tasted fake. I'll make these again using the real stuff.
Mina
THANK YOU! This is such such a tasty looking recipe. I can't wait to try this with a red velvet cake mix for the holidays. Love u guys.
Theresa
What a great video...you looked like you were having such fun, and so relaxed. I'm trying these next week. Can't wait. Keep 'em coming!
RozieG
OMG! These are fantastic, but I made them a little smaller (60 per cake mix). Try a butter cake with peanut butter frosting (2 C powdered sugar, 1 C peanut butter, milk), it's yummy. You can also roll them in powdered sugar instead of chocolate for a quick serve.
Carol D, CA
If you are using the homemade cream cheese frosting in the cake bites, shouldn't you refrigerate them after dipping?
Patti
i WANY TO MAKE THESE, BUT IS IT POSSIBLE TO FREEZE THEM TILL READY TO GIVE IN GIFT BOXES???
sHERYL uNDERHILL
Once dipped how should these be stored. It says not to freeze or refrigerate, if stored in a ziploc bag will they stay OK, I'm concerned that because of the cream cheese they should not be left at room temperature. And once dipped how long are they good for?
Lisa I, NJ
Wow...I made these last night and my family LOVES them. I did dip a few in the new Nestles Dark Chocolate & Mint chips (melted of course) and they taste very similar to the Girl Scouts Thin Mint cookies....very yummy!! Now, if I can just keep my crew out of them long enough to put a few gift boxes together. : ) THANKS KATHY
Stacey S, NC
I used red velvet cake, and the people at work LOVED them! Two of them will be making their own tonight for Christmas :) Thanks for a new favorite recipe!
Barbara
Keep these programs coming. I especially love you and and your hubby in them Kathy. The recipes are great! I am going to make tomorrow on Christmas Eve even though there is only me and my husband now. My son in Iraq would love these but I don't know if they would ship well. Thanks again and have a Merry Christmas everyone!!
Brenda
I made these cake bites for my church and eveyone enjoyed them. I'm now making them with Red Velvet Cake mix coated with chocolate. I'm doing these for Christmas Gifts. Thanks for this recipe they are great!!!!!!!!!
Arlena Fluellen
Do you or do you not refrigerate them?? With the cream cheese I would think so. Does anybody know!!
BK
These were great. Made them with a fudge cake mix,and use peppermint extract in the white chocolate coating.
Sprinkled the tops with crushed peppermint. Very Pretty!
Thanks
Lucile Sorenson
I made these (or should I say I directed my children over the phone how to make them as I ended up going out of town) for a party the other night. They turned out great. Everyone loved them. The only complaint was how rich they were.

Thanks for a great recipe.
Rita P.
I made these but it didn't go as well as the video!!ha Mine were soft even after freezing them, so while trying to coat them in white almond bark the chocolate cake shown through and got bits of chocolate in the white, also they were hard to get off fork with out messing up the bottom....So I am going to finish dipping them in chocolate, that went much better but still do not look like Kathy's lol!! I am taking them to church tonight so we'll see!
Beth
Love,Love,Love these cake bites...made them for Christmas Eve and they came out just like the video...and will be making them again Sunday for my quilt class on Monday night...good stuff..keep up the good work..you guys are great..THANKS AGAIN
Helen
I took these (German Chocolate Cake Bites) to our Bible study last week (I'd had some stores in the freezer for a month). I served them right out of the freezer. They were polished off, with RAVE reviews!! I was requested to bring them every week! They are better served cold, right out of the freezer. As they warmed up, they were not quite as good (but still yummy)Someone suggested, then we went off on it, that I make them lemon. I'm going to try this with yellow cake, lemon juice and lemon frosting from a can. Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Pati
I tried to download it also- can't find it either! Looked in my control panel and found it in the Cook'n file... just can't locate it in the program! Help!?!
