It was extremely pleasing to see all the money being raised on not only the cake balls, but all the other desserts that were up for sale. There was some really good stuff out there on the tables. I think that I spent more than what I probably should have, but it all looked so tasty. It was for the kids after all. There were plenty of parents that came up to us and asked about the cake balls and where we “bought” them at. Haha! They aren’t from the store! They wanted recipes after that of course. I said they only way I could give it to them was if they promised to make up a batch for the next time we needed to raise some money!
I always have to make sure that I make enough to go around… it would be a travesty to run out!
Ingredients
1 box of Duncan Hines cake mix, your preference
1 tub of Betty Crocker frosting,again, your preference
1 pkg. almond bark, chocolate or vanilla
Holiday sprinkles, crushed candy canes, whatever decorations you like
Instructions
Make whatever flavor box cake according to directions, in a 9X13 pan. Let cool .
Tear up cake and put in a BIG bowl. Now you add a tub of store bought frosting, choose flavour accordingly. Of course, chocolate with chocolate, white with white, cream cheese with yellow, etc. Let your imagination and your taste be your guide!
Squish your frosting into your torn up cake til it’s like a play-doh consistency, & cake & frosting are evenly mixed.
Now, either make balls with your hands, or whatever size scoop you want & let them dry for a bit on wax paper, some folks leave overnight, I just do a few hrs.
Melt almond bark in med. sized bowl in the microwave .
Dip cakeballs into melted bark & set on wax paper to dry.
Some times I take a little frosting, thin it out a bit, & put in a sandwich bag, cut a corner off, & squeeze a pretty squiggly pattern on each cake ball.
DO NOT refrigerate or the almond bark will melt & ruin your end result.
Store loosely covered, they will keep a few days.
