Blood Splatter Cakesicles Bites (Print View)

Red velvet cakesicles dipped in white chocolate with bold red splatter for a playful, eye-catching bite.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cake Base

01 - 1 box red velvet cake mix
02 - 1 cup water
03 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
04 - 3 large eggs

→ Filling and Coating

05 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
06 - 48 ounces white chocolate almond bark
07 - 6 ounces red candy melts

→ Assembly

08 - 24 wooden popsicle sticks

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and set out a 9x13-inch cake pan.
02 - In a large bowl, combine red velvet cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk until a smooth batter forms.
03 - Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cake to cool completely.
04 - Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Add softened cream cheese and blend until a dough-like consistency is achieved.
05 - Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per cavity and press evenly into each cakesicle mold. Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the center of each portion, then freeze the molds for 10 minutes.
06 - Melt white chocolate almond bark according to package instructions. Remove cakesicles from mold and immerse each in the melted white chocolate to coat. Place on parchment-lined surface and allow the coating to set.
07 - Melt red candy melts as directed on the package. Using a fork or clean fingers, flick melted red chocolate over the coated cakesicles to create a splatter effect. Let stand until fully set before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure cream cheese is soft for even blending. For clean removal, freeze cakesicles until firm before dipping in chocolate.
