Cake Balls

Ingredients:

1 box chocolate cake mix (or any flavor)
1 container chocolate icing/frosting (or any flavor)
6 oz. melting chocolate (I used Nestle Semi-Sweet Baking Bars)
(optional: white baking chocolate for drizzling)

Directions:

Prepare the cake mix according to package directions using any of the recommended pan sizes. When cake is done, let cool, then crumble into a large bowl
Then mix crumbled cake with container of frosting.
Use a melon baller or spoon to form balls of the mixture.
Melt baking chocolate according to directions (I used a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water), stirring occasionally until smooth.
Dip the balls in melted chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them.
Place on waxed paper and place in fridge for at least 30 mins.
Makes about 40 balls.

(tip: placing cake balls in the fridge before dipping in chocolate will keep them from crumbling)
