I give you, Cake Balls
Naughty sounding name, delicious taste!Basically this is the concentrated version of a cupcake, rolled into a ball and then dipped in chocolate! Can anything be better than that?! Hello!
How To Make Your Own....Balls
1- 9 x 13 cake, unfrosted
1 can of frosting
1-Whole brick of chocolate or chocolate candy coating (sometimes called bark)
3 tbs of Canola Oil
Mix your entire cake and most of the frosting in a bowl until it becomes a paste. Put it in the fridge until you can roll it into balls that are a little smaller than a golf ball. Put those bakc in the fridge. (they are so much easier to dip when they are cold. Melt the chocolate. I use a little crock pot made for dips, but you can either melt it in the microwave or on the stove by putting boiling water in a bigger pot and then placing a smaller pot filled with chocolate in the bigger pot (helpes prevent burning). Put the canola oil in the chococate, it helps make it smooth and keeps it liquidy enough to work with.
Place the dipped cake balls onto wax paper and let the shell harden. Keep cool and enjoy!
Some people like to make Cake Pops. They dip the cake balls on a sucker stick and then stand them on a foam block to let them dry. I'm sure this way is a lot more fun!
