Recipe
Ingredients
1 box cake mix (flavor of your choice)
Eggs, oil, and water as called for on the cake mix box (should be: 1 c water, 3 eggs, ½ c vegetable oil)
1 cup + 2 tablespoons canned frosting (flavor of your choice)
1 pound candy melts (I recommend Ghirardelli Melting Wafers)
½ cup sprinkles (Optional)
Directions
1) Prepare cake mix with the amount of oil, water, and eggs directed on the box. Bake in a 9x13” pan according to package directions.
2) Let the cake cool completely, then break apart and crumble until fine crumbs form.
3) Stir in the frosting until a dough forms. If the dough seems dry, add more frosting, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
4) Roll the cake mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for at least one hour.
5) Melt the candy melts in a bowl in the microwave, heating in 30-second increments, and stir until completely smooth.
6) Place each cake ball on a fork and use a spoon to pour the candy melts over the cake ball. Tap against the side of the bowl to remove excess candy melts.
7) Place each ball on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Top with sprinkles.
8) Repeat with remaining cake balls and candy melts. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat. It can be made up to 3 days in advance.
