Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 15.25 ounces funfetti strawberry cake mix with candy bits (Unicorn cake mix)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 3 tablespoons unicorn sprinkles (or multi-colored sprinkles)
  • 1 cup pink candy melts
  • 1 cup purple candy melts
  • 1 cup blue candy melts
  • 1 cup yellow candy melts
  • ½ cup unicorn sprinkles (optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cookie Scoop
  • Baking sheet
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the funfetti strawberry cake mix and softened cream cheese. Mix until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
  3. Gently fold in the 3 tablespoons of unicorn sprinkles into the cake batter.
  4. Using a cookie scoop, portion out small amounts of the cheesecake mixture and roll them into balls. Place each ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. While the bites are chilling, melt your candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
  6. Once the cheesecake bites have firmed up, dip each one into the melted candy coating and place them back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Before the candy coating sets, sprinkle more unicorn sprinkles on top of the coated bites.
  8. Let the Unicorn Cheesecake Bites sit at room temperature until the candy coating has hardened.
  9. Once set, your Unicorn Cheesecake Bites are ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

  • Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth batter.
  • Don’t rush the chilling process; it’s essential for the bites to hold their shape.
  • Mix and match the colors of your candy melts to suit your occasion!
  • Incorporate a teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor.
