For my graduation party this past summer, one of the many
things that I served as a dessert were cake balls. I’ve always wanted to try
making them, and I tried out the following recipe that one of my closet friends
was kind enough to give me. I’m
definitely not an expert at making them, nor am I as skilled at making them as
she is, but they are definitely a delicious treat!
Ingredients:
1 can of icing
1 box of cake mix
1-2 containers of chocolate bark (depending on which brand
you purchase)
Making the Magic:
1.
Cook the cake mix according to box directions
2.
Allow to cool completely
3.
Put the cake into a bowl and break into fine
pieces
4.
Mix the entire can of icing in with the cake
pieces (you can use a spoon but eventually you will need to use your hands to
really get it mixed in)
5.
Once the cake and icing are all mixed together,
scoop them out with a cookie scooper, or you can roll them into balls using
your hands.
6.
Place on a wax paper covered cookie sheet or
container.
7.
Place in refrigerator to cool and slightly dry
out for an hour or so. Keep them
uncovered so that they can dry.
8.
Melt the chocolate bark according to directions
(do a little at a time to keep it from cooling and becoming too thick)
9.
Using a spoon, dip the cake ball into the melted
chocolate and roll around or cover with chocolate using the spoon and place it
on the cookie sheet once finished.
**If you want to
get fancy, you can add things while the
chocolate is still melted like sprinkles, crushed Oreos, mints, etc.
10. Place
cookie sheet in fridge to cool and dry.
11. TASTE
TEST! J
So there you have it!

holiday dessert collections that you enjoy, or even would be a great addition
