Description

Delicious and colorful Cake Bites made with Funfetti cake mix, melted white chocolate, and sweetened condensed milk, coated in vanilla-flavored candy melts and decorated with sprinkles. These bite-sized treats offer a fun and easy dessert perfect for parties or snack time.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 ounce bag white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Funfetti cake mix (heat treated)
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles (jimmies work well)
  • 15 ounces vanilla flavored melting wafers


Instructions

  1. Heat treat the cake mix: To ensure safety and eliminate risk of raw flour, heat treat the Funfetti cake mix before using it in the recipe.
  2. Prepare the pan: Line a square baking dish with parchment paper and coat the surface with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Melt butter: In a large pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and spread it evenly over the entire bottom of the pan.
  4. Add white chocolate and condensed milk: Sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over the melted butter. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly on top. Allow it to sit for a couple of minutes so the chips can warm up, then stir frequently until the chips have completely melted and combined.
  5. Add vanilla extract: Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly to incorporate.
  6. Mix in cake mix: Add the heat treated Funfetti cake mix and stir well to combine into the chocolate mixture.
  7. Add sprinkles: Fold in the sprinkles gently, mixing until evenly distributed, then remove the mixture from heat.
  8. Set in pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Tap it gently on a firm flat surface so the mixture levels out evenly.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to set before cutting.
  10. Cut and dip: Cut the chilled mixture into bite-sized squares. Melt the vanilla flavored candy coating wafers and dip each square, shaking off excess chocolate. Immediately decorate with additional sprinkles and allow to set before serving.

Notes

  • Heat treating the cake mix is essential to ensure it’s safe to eat as it is not baked in the traditional sense in this recipe.
  • You can substitute vanilla or white chocolate melting wafers if vanilla flavored wafers are unavailable.
  • Keep the cake bites refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain their shape and texture.
  • Use non-parchment lined surfaces carefully when handling sticky mixtures to prevent difficult removal.
  • Customize sprinkles and decorations to match different occasions or celebrations.
