Ingredients
These delicious Elf on the Shelf Cake Bites are sure to be a hit at your holiday party! To make them, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup of green candy melts
- 1/4 cup of red candy melts
- 1/4 cup of yellow candy melts
- 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup of red, white, and green sprinkles
You will also need a 12-cup muffin tin, a bowl, a whisk, a spoon, and a microwave.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, eggs, and water. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Add the chocolate chips and mix to combine.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups of the prepared muffin tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake bite comes out clean.
Let the cake bites cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, place the candy melts in separate bowls and melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth.
Once the cake bites have cooled completely, dip each one into the melted candy melts, letting any excess drip off. Place the cake bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let the candy melts set.
Once the candy melts have set, top each cake bite with mini marshmallows and sprinkles. Enjoy!
