Mmmmm... cake balls

Ok - so they might not sound like anything special, but I can assure you that these little treats are heavenly! And easy to make too!



So here's how you make your own!
1 box of cake mix (whatever flavor you like best!)
1 container of frosting (or make your own!)
Almond Bark or Chocolate for dipping

Make the cake as per the directions on the box. Bake until done. Let cool. Take cake out of pan and put into a large mixing bowl. Add frosting to the cake and mix together until you get a dough-like consistancy (the amount of frosting you need is different depending on how moist the cake you baked is.) Put the dough in the freezer for 15-30 minutes. Take out when the dough is cold and form into 2" balls. Put balls into freezer for an additional 30 minutes (this will help the chocolate adhere to the balls and because they are frozen they will be easier to dip.) Melt chocolate. Dip 1 ball at a time into melted chocolate, making sure to evenly coat. Garnish with whatever you like!

The fun part is deciding what type to make. For Christmas this year I made devils food cake with chocolate icing. I crumbled some candy canes and added that to the dough. Then I dipped some in white chocolate and some in milk chocolate. I sprinkled the remaining crushed candy canes over the chocolate coating before they cooled. The options are totally up to you! You could try spice cake with cream cheese icing and white chocolate and walnuts (yummy), chocolate cake with chocolate icing and dark chocolate or vanilla cake, vanilla icing with milk chocolate. The options are endless and it's really up to you and what you like! Enjoy!
