Steps:
- Prepare cake and bake according to package directions in a 9x13 inch pan. Allow to cool completely.
- After cake has cooled, use your hands to crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl. A fork can also be used to crumble large chunks. Make sure cake is completely broken into fine crumbs.
- Add 1/2-3/4 of the container of frosting, mixing with a spoon until the cake crumbs are coated. I don't add the entire container because then the cake balls come out a little too mushy. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and roll the mixture into small balls. Place balls on a plate or cookie sheet topped with wax paper and freeze for 1 hour.
- Melt dipping chocolate or almond bark according to package directions. Place a wooden skewer on the bottom of a cake ball and dip into the chocolate, swirling and then tapping off the excess. Place the skewer in a mug or glass (I used short skewers for this recipe) and immediately add sprinkles if using. Allow to dry completely. Repeat with remaining cake balls.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED FRUITCAKE BALLS

Yield Makes about 24 confections
Number Of Ingredients 2
Steps:
- In a food processor grind the fruitcake until it forms a ball, scoop up rounded teaspoons of it, and with dampened hands form them into balls. Let the balls stand, uncovered, in a jelly-roll pan lined with wax paper for 30 minutes. In a small metal bowl set in a saucepan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate, stirring until it is smooth, and remove the bowl from the pan. Balancing the fruitcake balls, 1 at a time, on the tines of a fork, dip them into the chocolate, letting the excess drip off, and transfer them to the wax paper, reserving the remaining chocolate for another use. Chill the balls for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is hardened. The fruitcake balls keep, covered and chilled, for 1 week.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality chocolate. This will make your cake balls more flavorful and decadent.
- To make sure your cake balls are evenly coated in chocolate, use a double boiler or a microwave to melt the chocolate.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to heat it in short bursts, stirring in between, so that it doesn't burn.
- To make your cake balls even more special, you can decorate them with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or candy melts.
- Cake balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-covered cake balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these delicious treats that will be enjoyed by people of all ages.
