Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 45 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (18 1/2 ounce) boxed cake mix, any flavor
• 1 1/3 cups water
• 1/2 cup oil
• 3 eggs
• 16 ounces liquid coffee creamer, complimentary flavor to cake
• 12 ounces chocolate chips, any flavor

Recipe

• 1 mix cake, water, oil and eggs and bake as directed on box.
• 2 place cooled cake or scraps into a bowl in large pieces.
• 3 using a fork, crumble the cake into a nice crumb.
• 4 crumbled cake will be soft and fluffy.
• 5 pour in liquid coffee creamer judging by eye, until a medium sized puddle forms.
• 6 put on decorator's/food safe gloves and begin mixing the crumb liquid mixture.
• 7 the cake central site says to use gloved hands because it’s easier to get the feel of the mixture for consistency reasons rather then using a fork or spoon but you can use a fork or spoon if you’d prefer.
• 8 mix until a soft mushy dough forms.
• 9 once you get the mixture to the consistency you would like it, roll a small amount into a ball using the palms of your hands, or a cookie scoop, or a melon baller; anything will work for this.
• 10 place each ball on a platter.
• 11 place platter into the freezer for about 30-90 minutes.
• 12 meanwhile, place chocolate to be melted in a microwave safe bowl, microwave following melting directions.
• 13 after removing platter from freezer, take one ball at a time, and roll it around in the melted chocolate with the help of a spoon.
• 14 place dipped balls back onto the parchment paper lined tray for drying.
• 15 tip: store frozen – un-dipped – cake balls in an air tight container sealed with both lid and plastic wrap. remove just before dipping to help the chocolate coating set.
• 16 they are best served cold.
