Ingredients

• 1 box light or sugar-free yellow cake mix (or use your favorite light cake recipe)
• Ingredients listed on cake mix box (eggs, water, oil—use light options where possible)
• ½ cup light cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
• 1 cup pastel candy melts or vanilla yogurt chips (for coating)
• Optional: food coloring, festive sprinkles, or edible glitter for decorating

Instructions

1. Bake the Cake
Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions using light ingredient swaps (like unsweetened applesauce in place of oil, if desired). Bake in a 9×13 pan. Let the cake cool completely.

2. Crumble & Mix
Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl. Add softened cream cheese and powdered sugar (if using), mixing until the texture is sticky and moldable.

3. Shape the Eggs
Roll about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into small oval or egg shapes using your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20–30 minutes to firm up.

4. Coat the Bites
Melt the candy melts or yogurt chips according to package directions. Dip each cake egg into the coating using a fork or dipping tool, letting excess drip off. Return to parchment-lined tray.

5. Decorate
Before the coating sets, decorate with sprinkles or drizzle with colored candy melt. Chill again for 15 minutes until coating is set.

6. Serve & Enjoy
Store in the fridge until ready to serve. Enjoy cold or at room temperature.

Tips for Success

• Use Light Cream Cheese: Keeps the filling creamy without extra fat.
• Don’t Skip the Chill: Freezing the eggs helps them hold their shape while dipping.

• Colorful Finishing Touches: Mix a few drops of natural food coloring into melted coating for pastel pink, yellow, or blue finishes.
