Cake Balls (Aka Cake Truffles/Bonbons)

1. 1

   Prepare cake mix as instructed on box. Cool.

2. 2

   When cooled, crumble cake into a bowl, and mix in just enough frosting so the mixture binds and is easily rolled by hand into balls (I usually use half the container of frosting).

3. 3

   Roll into bite-sized balls, and freeze for an hour or two -or overnight (optional, but highly recommended, as it helps them hold shape when dipping, especially when using toothpicks. I'd say don't use a toothpick if you skip the freezer step.)

4. 4

   Lay cake balls across parchment paper or foil.

5. 5

   In a microwaveable bowl, melt the candy bark as directed on package.

6. 6

   Using a toothpick (cleaner results) or two forks, dip (or roll) balls in melted candy coating.

7. 7

   If frozen, work quickly to decorate right after dipping or coating will harden. If not frozen, they will not harden immediately and you can dip them all before decorating.

8. 8

   Once all coated, allow to harden. You may now package them however you like, such as: in goodie bags, on lollipop sticks, in mini cupcake wrappers, etc!

9. 9

   Enjoy experimenting with flavors and decorations!
