My neighbor has an annual cookie swap. This year I decided to take cake balls and made them in a variety of colors. They are always a hit and great for kids because they are (mostly) bite size so the chocolate doesn't melt on their hands.
You will need:
Any boxed cake mix (and ingredients to make it, (eggs, oil)
1 container of frosting
Melted Chocolate (or your preferred chocolate for coating)
*Make cake as directed in a 9x13 pan (you can make them in round cake pans but your just going to dump them out)
*Let cake cool for 2-5 minutes and dump into large mixing bowl. Add container of frosting and mix together to make (almost) a dough.
*Put in refrigerator to chill (I usually leave mine overnight)
*Once chilled, form into 1 inch balls
.
*Melt chocolate and roll cake balls to evenly coat. put on was paper or foil to set. Enjoy!
I used white chocolate (Food Lion brand CandiQuik) and dyed some green. I used Wilton candy melts for the red ones and chocolate (CandiQuik). You can also add solid shortening to thin the chocolate.
