Ingredients
- 4 cups Cake (any flavor, crumbled)
- 0.5 cups Frosting (any flavor)
- 12 ounces Chocolate (melting wafers or chips)
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place cake crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Ensure the crumbs are fine, without any big lumps.
Step 2
Add 1/4 cup of frosting to the bowl and mix thoroughly using a spatula or your hands until a firm, moldable consistency is achieved. If needed, add more frosting 1 tablespoon at a time.
Step 3
Scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls using your hands. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4
Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
Step 5
While the cake balls are chilling, melt the chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
Step 6
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle decorations such as sprinkles or sugar crystals onto the chocolate coating before it sets.
Step 8
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store the cake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!
