Cake Balls


This is one of the very easiest recipes ever and still very tasty, sort of like a donut hole bite but better. And did I mention it is easy? Also, you can do any flavor combo that you want- i.e. chocolate cake and chocolate frosting, carrot cake and cream cheese frosting, etc... Enjoy!

Cake Balls
1 (18.25 ounce) package cake mix
1 (16 ounce) container prepared frosting
Almond Bark or Chocolate Chips, melted for dipping

Directions
Prepare the cake mix according to package directions using any of the recommended pan sizes. When cake is done, crumble while warm into a large bowl, and stir in the frosting until well blended. Use a melon baller or small scoop to form balls of the chocolate cake mixture. Roll the scoops into "balls" and then put on a cookie sheet in the fridge or freezer until they hold together a little better. Melt chocolate coating in a glass bowl in the microwave, or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Dip the balls in chocolate using a fork to hold them. Place on waxed paper to set.

P.S. Check out the photos on this AllRecipes link for creative ideas- everything from reindeer with pretzels for antlers, eye balls and ghosts for Halloween, shamrocks for St. Patty's, etc... Lots of creative stuff that is adorable!
