Oh my goodness! These were to DIE for! I will definitely have these on my list for my last meal! :) They turned out perfect and were DELICIOUS!! Just use your favorite cake mix and icing to create these yummy cake balls! I made two because I gave these away at Christmastime as well. I used Chocolate Cake mix with Chocolate fudge icing and Cherry Chip cake with Cherry icing. The CHERRY was by far my FAVORITE!! I then covered the Chocolate cake balls in White Chocolate bark and the Cherry Chip cake in Milk Chocolate Bark! DELICIOUS!
Ingredients
1 (18.25 ounce) package of your favorite cake mix
1 (16 ounce) container prepared cake frosting
Chocolate flavored confectioners coating disks or bar (available in white chocolate, dark or milk)
Directions
Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box.
When cake is finished baking allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Crumble the cake into a large bowl using a stand mixer or a hand mixer.
Add the frosting and mix until well combined. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Line a baking tray with wax paper.
Line a baking tray with wax paper.
Use a melon baller as a scooper to form balls with the cake mixture. Place on wax paper.
Once you have used all of the cake mixture, place the baking tray in the freezer for 1 hour.
Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl of the microwave, stirring every 5-10 seconds until smooth.
Remove the balls from the freezer. Using one toothpick, pick up the balls one at a time and dip in the chocolate. Use a second toothpick to slide the ball off the first toothpick onto the wax paper lined baking tray.
NOTE: I found that Wilton sells a candy dipper that reminds me of an old Easter egg dipper and that works great as well. If the balls fall off the toothpick into the chocolate, they are not firm enough to work with and you'll need to place them back in the freezer for additional time
Once you have covered all the balls in chocolate coating place the tray in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating is set. At this point you can drizzle other chocolate on the balls for decoration.
