Cary's Cake Balls

Total Time: 1 hr 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (18 ounce) box cake mix, any flavor (i used golden yellow)
• 3 eggs (varies, needed to make your cake. check the back of the cake mix box)
• 1 1/3 cups water (varies, needed to make your cake. check the back of the cake mix box)
• 3 tablespoons butter (varies, needed to make your cake. check the back of the cake mix box) or 3 tablespoons margarine (varies, needed to make your cake. check the back of the cake mix box)
• 1 (12 ounce) can frosting, whipped (my friend uses cream cheese, i used butter cream. feel free to try your favorite kind!!)
• 4 (8 ounce) containers dipping chocolate, i'm not sure the size of the container, standard container of microwavable dipping chocolate
• 1 ounce candy sprinkles

Recipe

• 1 bake the cake as directed. let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes. while still warm, break the cake into pieces in a large mixing bowl. add the can of frosting and stir until mixed. the cake pieces will break up into much smaller pieces. (the mixture will be a bit of a mess and very gooey!).
• 2 roll the cake/frosting mixture into little balls (1" in diameter). place them equally spaced on a parchment lined baking sheet. freeze for about an hour.
• 3 melt your dipping chocolate in the microwave (or if you prefer to use a double boiler, feel free). dip 1-2 cake balls in the chocolate and place back on the baking sheet. immediately decorate with toppings. the cold cake/frosting mixture will harden the chocolate rather quickly so you can really only do 1-2 at a time.
• 4 you may either keep in a sealed container or back in the freezer! this recipe should make anywhere from 20-30 balls.
• 5 feel free to change up flavors of frosting, cake mix, or toppings for all different sorts of little desserts!
