Cake Balls

I'm sure you've heard of Bakerella and her amazing cake balls and cake pops. For Christmas Mom bought me her book "Cake Pops" I was so excited to get it and ready to try it out. Brea and I made some for Valentine's it was a lot of fun and a great learning experience. For the family dinner we wanted to have a bit of a variety, I made these again but I wanted to have something that my Grandma could have (aka GF), we decided to try the cake balls again. I think they turned out really good and pretty too!

Cake Balls
Recipe came from Bakerella
Cake Balls

1 box cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
1 can frosting (16 oz.)
1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate)
wax paper

1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can cream cheese frosting. (It may be easier to use fingers to mix together, but be warned it will get messy.)
3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50. You can get even more if you use a mini ice cream scooper, but I like to hand roll them.)
4. Chill for several hours. (You can speed this up by putting in the freezer.)
5. Melt chocolate in microwave per directions on package.
6. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)

I also only melt a few pieces of chocolate bark at a time because it starts to cool and thicken. It’s easier to work with when it’s hot.
