Equipment
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
- 1 15.25 oz. Box Moist Yellow Cake Mix I use Betty Crocker's Super Moist
- 1 16 oz. Container Cream Cheese Frosting
- 12 oz. White Chocolate (Chocolate Chips or Candy Melts)
- 1 Tbsp. EZ Thin Dipping Aid *See notes
Instructions
- Prepare the cake according to instructions leaving OUT the oil! Bake until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once cooled. Crumble cake in a large bowl and add ¾ of the tub (12 oz.) of frosting. I like using your my hands to mix! (Use can do this in a mixer as well.)
- Using a mini ice cream scoop, scoop out cake balls and roll using hands. Store in a Tupperware container with parchment paper in between layers so the balls do not stick. Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in your mini crock pot if you have! If not, use a thick coffee mug and melt chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments stirring in between! Add a spoonful of EZ Thin and stir until smooth.
- Using a toothpick, stick a ball and dip it all the way into the chocolate immediately turning upside down on a 45 degree angle rotating until the excess chocolate runs off. Then drop onto parchment or nonstick surface.
- When you remove the toothpick, there will be holes. Just dip a small spoon or your finger into the chocolate and patch the whole up while still wet.
- Add sprinkles while still wet and allow chocolate to set. This should take about 15 minutes.
- Store in the fridge for up to a week or in Tupperware for a few days.
Notes
*The EZ Thin is to help thin your chocolate so it's easy to shake off the excess chocolate. If you cannot find this or don't have time to order it, you can use a little bit of coconut oil.
Dipping Tips
- Make sure your chocolate does not get too hot! I will stir my mini crock pot a few times or unplug for a few minutes during the process so my chocolate does not burn.
- You can add any kind of sprinkles to make these for any holiday or occasion.
- You can also drizzle chocolate over top when the first coating sets for a classic look.
- If your balls fall off of your skewer when dipping, you will need to pop them back in the fridge or freezer.
- Turn the cake ball upwards and tap against the edge to gently allow the excess chocolate to drop.
