# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F and grease or line two 8-inch pans.
02 -
Follow the cake mix directions to bake. Let the cakes cool completely before moving on.

After cooling, crumble the cake with your fingers until it looks like rough sand. If it’s too sticky, break it into pieces and place on a baking tray. Dry it in the oven at 350°F for 5-6 minutes.
04 -
Take a big mixing bowl and blend cream cheese, butter, and sugar. Use a hand mixer and mix till it feels light and fluffy.

Add the crushed graham crackers to the cream cheese mixture. Drizzle in the vanilla and blend until it’s smooth and combined well.

Grab a small cookie scoop (about 2 teaspoons size) and scoop out portions. Roll the mixture into neat balls and place them on a lined tray or plate. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour to make them firm.
07 -
Roll the chilled cheese balls in the red velvet crumbs to coat them completely. Shape them again into smooth rounds if needed.

You can eat them right away or keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
