# How to Make It:

Follow the box directions to make your cake. Let it cool all the way after baking.

After cooling, use your fingers to break the cake into sandy bits. If it feels too wet, tear it into chunks and pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 5-6 minutes on a lined tray.

Grab a big bowl and beat together the cream cheese, butter, and sugar with your electric mixer until it's light and fluffy.

Dump your crushed graham crackers into the cream cheese mix. Pour in the vanilla and stir everything together well.

Using a 2-teaspoon cookie scoop, form small balls of the cream cheese mixture. Roll them between your palms until round and put them on a lined tray. Chill them for an hour to firm up.
07 -
Take your cold cream cheese balls and roll them in the red velvet crumbs. Make sure they're totally covered and reshape them if needed.

You can munch on them right away or keep them in the fridge until you want them.
