CAKE BALLS

A great way to make it look like you've been in the kitchen all day when you haven't.  They are tastey, quick, and look great on your dessert plate!  Not to mention there is a neverending choice of flavor combinations!

INGREDIENTS:
1 cake mix (any flavor) plus ingredients listed on the box
1 can of prepared frosting (any flavor)
Chocolate for dipping (I used 1 C chocolate chips or white chocolate chips plus 1 Tbl of solid Crisco - melted in the microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions using any of the recommended pan sizes. When cake is done, crumble while warm into a large bowl, and stir in the frosting until well blended.
2. Melt chocolate coating in a glass bowl in the microwave, or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
3. Use a melon baller or small scoop to form balls of the chocolate cake mixture. Dip the balls in chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them. Place on waxed paper to set.
4. If desired sprinkle the dipped balls with colored sugar/candy sprinkles, coconuts, etc.
5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
