Cake Balls

Recipe #2

Cake Balls seem to be taking the country by storm. Seriously, these things are everywhere now. Instead of cupcakes, cake balls. And I can't complain, they're delicious! They're easy to make and can easily be transported without a car catastrophe. I can't say why this is such a sensation, but it just is. I love these little things and can't get enough of them.

You only need these three things:

1 Cake Mix, any flavor.
1 can of frosting, whatever flavor you wish
Chocolate for the covering, can be white, dark, etc. I recommend Almond Bark

Step 1: Bake the cake.
Use the directions on the box.

Step 2: Crumble the cake.
After the cake has cooled for about fifteen minutes, crumble the cake with your hands.

Step 3: Frosting.
Mix the frosting with in with the crumbled cake with your hands. Mix lots of frosting for moist cake balls, less frosting for more of a cake taste. Chill the balls for a little while in the fridge.

Step 4: Roll into balls with your hands. Put in freezer to set. If you let them stay in the freezer for 6 hours, it makes the balls much easier to dip in the chocolate and they come out much prettier.

Step 5: Melt chocolate in microwave/stove. Follow directions on chocolate.

Step 6: Roll balls in chocolate. Set out wax paper to lay the chocolate covered balls on. Several different ways to dip the chocolate work, you just have to find the best one for yourself. You can use a toothpick to poke the ball and dip it, or a fork and spatula, even a spoon. I prefer the fork and spatula.

Step 7: Decorate your cake balls. You can drizzle another color icing on top, put sprinkles on top, whatever, be creative. Cupcake pops are a cute treat.
