Cake Balls



So, yesterday I showed you how to make Mint Oreo Balls. Today I am going to share my recipe for cake balls. The beauty of this recipe is that you can make whatever flavor you like! The first time I made it, I used a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. The second time I used a German chocolate cake with caramel pecan frosting (which was too delicious for words!), and for our Easter celebration this year I used a confetti cake with rainbow chip frosting for one batch, and a strawberry cake with strawberry frosting for the other batch. I haven't tried them yet (saving it all for Easter!), but my favorite taste tester, my husband, said they were pretty good! So, I encourage you to be creative with this recipe, and then share what you did! I'd love to hear your suggestions!!!

Cake Balls
1 box cake mix, any flavor
1 15 oz. can frosting, any flavor
Chocolate bark or Wilton Candy Melts

1. Bake cake in 13x7 inch pan, according to directions. Allow cake to completely cool.
2. When cake is completely cool, break entire cake up into crumbs in a bowl and then mix with can of frosting. I use my hands for this because it's easier than using a spoon!
3. Roll mixture into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet.
4. Place balls in the freezer for an hour, until firm.
5. Heat chocolate bark or candy melts according to directions.
6. Roll balls in chocolate until completely covered, then place on sheet of wax paper. Allow to harden before storing in the refrigerator.
