Ingredients
For the Cake Balls
- 1 box box of cake mix (any flavor you prefer)
- 1 can can of frosting (any flavor matches well)
- 2 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips For eyes and buttons
- 1 cup orange candy melts or orange slices For noses
- 1 cup black edible glitter or sprinkles For eyes and buttons
- optional Lollipop sticks or cake pop sticks For decoration
- as needed Wax paper For cooling
Instructions
Baking the Cake
- Prepare your cake mix according to the directions on the box. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
Crumbling and Mixing
- After the cake has cooled, crumble it into a large bowl using your hands or a fork.
- Gradually add in the can of frosting to the crumbled cake and mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together but isn't overly sticky.
Forming the Balls
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Aim for around 20-24 balls, depending on size.
- Place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Melting and Coating
- Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate, fully coating it, and tap off any excess.
Decorating
- Before the chocolate hardens, quickly stick mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, and use the orange candy melts or slices for noses.
Setting and Serving
- Allow the decorations to harden completely. Once set, arrange on a festive plate or display and enjoy!
