Helen made this for our Kempton Family Reunion when we were at Indian Hot Springs.

Red Velvet Cake Balls



Ingredients:
1 box red velvet cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)

1 can cream cheese frosting (16 oz.)

1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate)

wax paper

Directions:
1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.

2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can cream cheese frosting. (It may be easier to use fingers to mix together, but be warned it will get messy.)




3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50. You can get even more if you use a mini ice cream scooper, but I like to hand roll them.)




4. Chill for several hours. (You can speed this up by putting in the freezer.)


5. Melt chocolate in double broiler pan.


6. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)

Decadent Chocolate Milk

This is SOOOO Good!

2 cup heavy (whipping) cream
8 ounces Symphony Bar*
1 tsp. Vanilla

Heat cream over medium-high heat until slightly boiling.


Add chocolate pieces and turn off heat. Then add 1 tsp. Vanilla


Whisk slowly until chocolate is melted and mixture is very smooth. Pour into a container and keep in the fridge up to two weeks. Mix with cold or warm milk, depending on how frightful the weather outside is.


Note: Mixture, after refrigerated, will be quite thick. Just stir well in cold milk and you’ll be fine

* Original recipe calls for semi-sweet chocoate, but I LOVE milk chocolate. It also says that you can use chocolate chips.
