- 1 container Frosting only 8 oz, half, is needed

- Sprinkles if desired
Ingredients
|
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and cook cake according to box directions.
- Once baked, remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Crumble cake into large bowl. You can use your hands to fully crumble, or a mixer.
- Mix in about 1/2 container of chocolate frosting. It should equal around a cup. You don't want the cake mixture too moist, so don't use more than half the frosting tub.
- Roll cake mixture into 1 inch balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Place cookie sheet into freezer for about 45 minutes.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the candy coating and microwave in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between, until fully melted.
- Remove cake balls from freezer and using a fork, dip each ball into the chocolate thoroughly coating it entirely.
- Place coated ball back onto parchment paper and continue process until all have been coated.
- *If using sprinkles, sprinkle them on every 5-8 balls to prevent chocolate from drying before sprinkles have been added.
- Serve and enjoy! *Store in a room temperature, air tight container
Tip: the cake balls will be easier to roll if you wash and dry your hands periodically during the rolling process. Dry your hands completely each time, and make sure you don't get water in the candy coating, as it can make it unusable.
Tip: Log House Candiquik Melt and Make Chocolate is a super easy chocolate to use for dipping.
Optional: decorate with sprinkles or drizzle candy coating over cake balls.
Tip: for easy designs as shown in the photo, transfer remaining candy coating into a heavy plastic Ziploc bag, cut a tiny hole in one corner, and pipe on swirls, stripes, etc.
