Tasty Thursday: Easy Peasy Cake {Pop} Balls

These are like little pieces of heaven.  If you have not had a cake ball, you are MISSING OUT.  But now you can make them yourself.  Here’s the I-want-a-cake-ball-but-I-don’t-have-time-to-be-domestic version.

Ingredients:

Box of Cake Mix
{I prefer Red Velvet.  You will too.  But you can use any mix you want.}

Whatever it says on the box to make the cake.

Can of Cream Cheese Frosting
{Again, this goes with the red velvet, so you can use another kind of frosting if you’d rather.}

Chocolate Melts
{and White Chocolate Melts, if you wanna be fancy}

Directions:

1.  Make and bake the cake.

2.  Let cake cool, then break up into pieces and stick it in your food processor {or a blender}.

3.  Let the food processor work it’s magic, breaking up the cake into crumbs.

4.  Empty the can of cream cheese frosting into a bowl that is filled with the cake crumbs.  Mix WELL.

5.  Form mixture into balls.

6.  Melt the chocolate in the microwave {in a microwave safe bowl – I do 30 seconds, stir, 30 seconds, stir, etc. until they are melted}.

7.  Using a spoon, dip the balls in the melted chocolate and place on wax paper to dry.

8. {Fancy-Pants Option} Melt white chocolate and drizzle over dipped cake balls {forks work best for drizzling!}.

9.  Eat as many as you can before your husband comes home.  But you didn’t hear that from me.

I suppose you could bake the cake from scratch and make your own frosting, but really, who has time for that?  This is the quick version.  Enjoy!!
