(Photo courtesy of Mel)They were easy to make and turned out delicious. However, they took me waaayyy too long, as almost anything does when you have to dip it. I think it will be a while before I make these again. And sorry I am a slacker and forgot to take a picture before they were all gone!
Ingredients:
1 box of cake mix (any flavor you want)
1 can of frosting
melting chocolate
Directions:
Follow the instructions for baking the cake. When it is finished, let it cool for 30 minutes. Then scrape the cake out into a bowl and stir in the can of frosting until the mixture becomes a dough like texture. Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough into round balls and place on cookie sheet. Freeze for about 2 hours.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Add some crisco if needed to thin it out. One at a time, dip the cake balls into the chocolate, let excess chocolate drip off, and them place on a cookie sheet with some wax paper. When finished, place in fridge or freezer to harden. I liked serving them cold out of the fridge with a glass of milk!
Oooh, I've made these before and they're yummy. But I agree, time-intensive. Glad they turned out for your get-together!
ReplyDeleteI am trying them tonight! Thanks for the idea!

Mel, let me know how they turn out. What combination of cake and icing did you use?
ReplyDeleteI ended up using Pillsbury funfetti/party cake mix along with cream cheese frosting that had the same party sprinkles. Everything worked great! I shoveled the dough into my ice trays and then stuck a sucker stick into them before putting them in the freezer. It made dipping easy. I must say that I was still surprised by the amount of time they took before completed. It made a ton. Great idea though. I like reading your food blog:)
ReplyDeleteThose cake balls are so good. I want to make more with a different flavor combination. But I don't want it to take so long...maybe I could just freeze half a batch to use later. Besides, I need a picture to post on the blog. I always forget to take pictures because I get so excited to eat the food.
ReplyDeleteI took a bunch of pictures from mine if you want me to send them to ya...
ReplyDeleteYeah! Send me some.
ReplyDeleteI'll put a post on my blog but I can send them to you through e-mail if you want them. I just need your e-mail. You can first look and see if you are interested. Sadly I forgot to take pictures of the cake and icing. I just have pictures of the cake balls before and after I dipped them in chocolate.
