Ingredients

  • 1 box Devils food cake mix (plus water, eggs, and oil as called for on box)
  • 1 can chocolate frosting (you only use half, but you can't buy a half can, hehe)
  • 2 packages (16 oz) chocolate candy coating
  • sprinkles, if desired

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and cook cake according to box directions.
  • Once baked, remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  • Crumble cake into large bowl. You can use your hands to fully crumble, or a mixer, up to you.
  • Mix in about 1/2 container of chocolate frosting. It should equal around a cup. You don't want the cake mixture too moist, so don't use more than half the frosting tub.
  • Roll cake mixture into 1 inch balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • Place cookie sheet into freezer for about 45 minutes.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, add the candy coating and microwave in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between, until fully melted.
  • Remove cake balls from freezer and using a fork, dip each ball into the chocolate thoroughly coating it entirely.
  • Place coated ball back onto parchment paper and continue process until all have been coated. 
  • *If using sprinkles, sprinkle them on every 5-8 balls to prevent chocolate from drying before sprinkles have been added.
  • Serve and enjoy! *Store in a room temperature, air tight container
