Wifey was up at 4:30 this AM so that she could get down to MA to help her mother get ready for her twice-a-week Seniors with Memory Impairment program at 10 (bus picks up and drops off), then be back up to NH for work at 8AM, so I made this tonight myself, and she really enjoyed it. Have to remember to thank my niece when I'm in Detroit next week.

I'm debating on giving it to some teachers tomorrow because then they will bug me to make it again haha. I make these cake ball things... they are to die for! I get attacked for them when I do make them and bring them in!!!
Omg, I never saw your post about you making cake balls, J!! They sure are to die for!!!
Anyway, here's my recipe for cake balls...
CAKE BALLS
1 package of cake mix, any flavor
1 can of cake frosting, any flavor
Vanilla or chocolate (or both) candy coating bark
Variety of sprinkles, toppings
*So you just make the cake mix, like you are making a cake..in cake pans and everything.
*After it's baked, let it cool but not completely. You want the cake still warm.
*Crumble warm cake into a mixing bowl. Add some frosting to cake crumbs and mix in. (I used to use half a can of frosting, but the cake balls seemed too moist so I use less than half a can. The more you make them, the better idea you'll have of the consistency you want)
*Roll the cake n frosting mixture into balls. You can make them as big as you want them. I've made them 2 bite size and 4 bite size.
*Cover cake balls and stick them in the freezer for a couple of hours. You can even freeze them overnight. The freezing helps the cake balls stay intact when you dip them in the warm bark.
*Melt candy coating bark in microwave. Dip cake balls in bark and make sure they are covered completely. Lay cake balls on wax paper or foil to set.
*While bark is still wet, you can put any sprinkles you want on the cake balls.
*After bark has hardened, eat and enjoy!!
Here are some cake and frosting combination ideas:
Chocolate cake and chocolate frosting
Chocolate cake and vanilla frosting
Red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting (really nice for Christmas and Valentines)
Spice cake and cream cheese frosting
White cake and chocolate frosting
White cake and vanilla frosting
Lemon cake and cream cheese frosting
Strawberry cake and strawberry frosting
Funfetti cake and vanilla frosting
Combinations are endless....
Topping ideas
Any kind of sprinkles for cakes/cupcakes
Nuts
Chocolate chips
Toffee bits
Chopped candy bars
Cookie crumbs
Etc.!!
You can also just leave the toppings off.

The ones I made were chocolate inside with chocolate frosting and I dipped them in both chocolate and vanilla bark. I had some dark chocolate Ghirardelli squares that I cut up and used as topping as well as toffee bits. I then drizzled the vanilla bark over them.

I know where I am headed for Christmas! :thumb:
You're welcome! Enjoy making them...it's fun! And they are super easy to make but they look so fancy. :thumb: :thumb:Colleen said:Dasha, you are an angel! :heart: Thank you so much for posting your cake balls recipe.
They look soooo good!!!!! :drool: :drool:
We have the family over for Christmas, and I am going to add these to the menu.
The mother of my niece opened her own bakery and started selling these. They were (and are) very popular. I liked them but thought they were kindof dry (shhhh!!!! don't tell her!!) so I started making my own.

If you are hopelessly addicted to jerky like I am save your money you can make it yourself, I think it tastes better than the store bought beef jerky.
Mix
½ tsp garlic powder,
½ tsp seasoned salt,
2 Tbsp liquid smoke,
¼ cup soy sauce,
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce,
1 tsp onion powder,
¼ tsp pepper.
Cut about 3lbs of meat into thin strips. Venison is really good, any game will do, beef works too.
Marinate for a day or 2 in the fridge.
Hang strips in oven, crack the door and bake at about 200 degrees until it's dry but chewy, usually about 24 hours.
