Ingredients Needed to Make These Fun Patriotic Cake Bites
Chocolate Cake Mix: Using a cake mix helps these cake bites come together much more quickly, but you can always bake the chocolate cake from scratch if you prefer!
Chocolate Chips: I love using Enjoy Life chocolate chips because they are super allergy-friendly and delicious!

Sprinkles: Red, white and blue sprinkles are super fun to use for the holidays! You could also switch it up and make these for any occasion by using rainbow sprinkles instead.

How to Make These Cake Bites
Bake cake according to package, adding in 3/4 cup chocolate chips to the batter. Once cooled, crumble the cake and pour into a large mixing bowl. Add in 3/4 cup of your favorite allergy-friendly chocolate frosting. Combine and place mixture in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet or plate.
Place cake bites back in the fridge for 1 hour or until firm. Reserve 1/8 cup of white chocolate chips. Melt the remaining white chocolate. Dip each cake bite into white chocolate until it is fully covered.
Immediately pour sprinkles on half of the cake bites and drizzle the other half with blue and red-dyed white chocolate. (To make the colored white chocolate melt 1/8 cup white chocolate chips, divide into 2 small bowls and add 1-2 drops of blue food coloring to one and 1-2 drops of red food coloring to the other). Place cake bites into the fridge once more for about 1 hour to harden and then enjoy!

Storage
These cake bites can be stored in the fridge for 5 days or you can freeze them!
