- 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 12 ounce bag red candy melts
- 12 ounce bag blue candy melts
- 1/3 cup Ghirardelli white melting wafers
- White star confetti sprinkles for topping
Instructions

- Dip each ball into the red melts, removing excess before placing back on the tray.
- Melt the white melting wafers in a small piping bag, drizzle over red coated balls, and return them to the refrigerator to set for 10 minutes.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to eat. Enjoy!
Notes
