3. Cover dough and chill for 2 hours.

6. Dip each ball into melted coating, tap off excess, and place on baking sheet.
7. Melt red candy melts and drizzle over coated bites.

Notes
Always heat treat the dry cake mix before mixing to eliminate bacteria.
Bring cream cheese to room temperature for smoother mixing.
Reheat coating in 15-second intervals if it thickens.
Let bites come to room temperature before coating to prevent cracking.
Use a squeeze bottle, spoon, or fork to drizzle melted candy.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Freeze uncoated bites for up to 2 months; thaw before coating.
