A chocolaty red velvet treat that uses only 4 ingredients and takes 5 minutes to make. But nobody will guess that because they’ll be too busy spreading bits of this delicious sweet cheese ball onto crackers.

So one day I was making a red velvet cream cheese mixture to use in a cake. It was seriously good. So good that when making the filling, I kept dipping in a spoon and having yet another taste.

All that tasting made me think that it needed to be served by itself, not just hidden inside of a cake. I was then inspired to make a sort of sweet cheese ball.

I made a batch of the filling but with slightly less liquid. Sure enough, I could then roll it into a ball. It took minutes to make and turned out to be the perfect easy Valentine’s Day treat.

How To Make A Red Velvet Cheese Ball

To make this sweet cheese ball all you do is mix together cream cheese with red velvet cake mix and confectioners sugar. Then shape it into a ball and roll it in chocolate chips.

I like to serve it with graham crackers. The chocolate ones in the picture taste good with it. But I tried it again another day with the plain honey ones and liked that better.
