Cake Balls

My husband loves these whether they are done as cake balls or cake pops.  The recipe is basically the same, but I find that I can make the balls a lot faster.  (40 in about an hour, minus baking and cooling.)  They are always a hit.  These are chocolate, but the red velvet is really good too.

1 box cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)

1 can  frosting (16 oz., Cream cheese frosting works best)

1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate)

Wax paper

 After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.

Mix thoroughly with 1 can  frosting. (I start with half a can and add more as needed. It may be easier to use fingers to mix together, but it will get messy. A fork works well too, just cut the frosting in like you would butter.)

 Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet. (Should make 40-50.)

 Chill for several hours. (You can speed this up by putting in the freezer.)

 Melt chocolate in microwave per directions on package.

 Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)

It's easier to melt a few pieces of chocolate bark at a time because it starts to cool and thicken. It’s easier to work with when it’s hot.
