Notes
✅ Heat-Treat the Cake Mix – To eliminate any bacteria, microwave the cake mix for 1 minute, stirring every 15 seconds, or bake it at 350°F for 5 minutes before using.
✅ For Extra Fluffiness – Mix in 1 tablespoon of marshmallow fluff for a lighter, airier texture.
✅ White Chocolate Drizzle – Melt ½ cup white chocolate chips and drizzle over the bites for a gourmet touch.
✅ Swap the Flavors – Use strawberry, vanilla, or birthday cake extract instead of cotton candy for a different twist.
✅ Make It Vegan – Swap butter for dairy-free butter and milk for almond or oat milk.
