Cake Balls (Aka Cake Truffles/Bonbons)
- 1 box Cake Mix (any Flavor) 18.25 Oz Box
- Additional Required Ingredients For Making Cake Mix, Typically Water, Eggs And Oil (use Amount Specified On Your Box Mix)
- 1 container Frosting - Complementing Cake Flavor 16 Oz. Container
- 1 package Candy Coating (like Almond Bark) 20 Oz. Package
- Sprinkles For Decorating
- Prepare cake mix as instructed on box. Cool.
- When cooled, crumble cake into a bowl, and mix in just enough frosting so the mixture binds and is easily rolled by hand into balls (I usually use half the container of frosting).
- Roll into bite-sized balls, and freeze for an hour or two -or overnight (optional, but highly recommended, as it helps them hold shape when dipping, especially when using toothpicks. I'd say don't use a toothpick if you skip the freezer step.)
- Lay cake balls across parchment paper or foil.
- In a microwaveable bowl, melt the candy bark as directed on package.
- Using a toothpick (cleaner results) or two forks, dip (or roll) balls in melted candy coating.
- If frozen, work quickly to decorate right after dipping or coating will harden. If not frozen, they will not harden immediately and you can dip them all before decorating.
- Once all coated, allow to harden. You may now package them however you like, such as: in goodie bags, on lollipop sticks, in mini cupcake wrappers, etc!
- Enjoy experimenting with flavors and decorations!
