The Infamous Cake Balls

Today I shall share with you the recipe for my infamous chocolate covered cake balls. They are so easy, it is going to BLOW YOUR MIND! All of these items may be found at Target.

Ingredients:

• Box of cake mix, try not to use extra moist but sometimes that is all they have.
• Can of frosting, premade just adds to the simplicity.
• 1/2 pound coverture chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate works best.

How you do it:

1. Make the cake. Follow all directions on the box. When the cake is done and still warm, mix it by hand with the frosting. DO NOT USE A MIXER! Place it in the fridge overnight.
2. To melt the chocolate, boil water in a small sauce pan, over medium heat. Chop up chocolate into small pieces and place in a metal mixing bowl. Place that bowl over the boiling water and stir. This is the best way to melt chocolate without having to worry about it burning to the pan.
3. Scoop out cake mix with a small ice cream scoop (or a spoon works just fine) and place in small paper cups. Drizzle melted chocolate over the balls. Add sprinkles for extra goodness.
4. If you wish to make these more like a truffle, I would suggest scooping out the cake mix and placing the balls on a pan and freezing them. This way they will stay together better when you dip them in cholcoate. You will need closer to a pound of chocolate for this.

Chocolate:

I use good old Baker's brand chocolate that you can find at the grocery store. They come in 1/2 pound/8oz packages. It is decently priced and works well.

Here are my Christmas Cake Balls. I used white cake, vanilla frosting, semi-sweet chocolate and Christmas sprinkles!
