cake balls

here is the recipe for cake balls----labor intensive but very easy to make---

ingredients:

any cake mix---your choice of flavor

any frosting---your choice of flavor

2 pckgs of almond bark---white or dark

make cake per directions on box

when the cake is done let it cool a little---then dump it in a bowl and crumble it totally.

When its cool---add the entire tub of frosting...mix well.

Freeze for about 1 hour.

Take a small melon-baller and form SMALL balls of dough from the mix---no bigger than 1" round....put these on a cookie sheet on wax paper.

Freeze for about 3 hours.

melt almond bark in microwave or double boiler----dont let ANY water get in bark---it will be ruined.

dip balls in almond bark (use toothpicks or spoons or skewers---this is the part that takes some getting used to to figure out your best way).

you can melt 3 squares at a time of the bark to keep it melted---you can also just roll the dough in your hand....you can also just dip the top of the ball in the almond bark.

possible combinations of frosting/cake:

chocolate/chocolate

german chocolate/pecan coconut frosting

mint chocolate/chocolate

lemon/lemon

red velvet/white frosting

cherry cake/white frosting (or cherry) with chocolate bark

the possibilities are endless

the balls are VERY rich---you cant eat a lot

you can put sprinkles on immediately after dipping before the bark hardens.

you want them to end up being the size of truffles or chocolate cordial cherries
