This is a good recipe to let the kids help make. My daughter Hanna and I had a good time make these.
1 cake mix - any flavor
1 tub of frosting - usually the same flavor as the cake
Almond bark
Bake cake in 9x13 pan according to directions. Once cake has cooked and cooled, crumble into a bowl. Add 2/3 of the frosting then roll into balls a little smaller than a golf ball. Lay on cookie sheet and freeze. Once frozen dip in melted Almond Bark.
**Here is my take on making them. I made my cake last night. When i got home from church today I cut the cake into about 2in pieces and put them all in my kitchen aid. I put the icing in the microwave for 25 seconds, (just long enough to soften it and not make it runny) to make it easier to stir in. The cake was just the right for making balls. My five year old DD even helped me make balls. We got 54 balls out of our batch. I did put them in the freezer for about an hour before dipping them in the chocolate. When I melted I the chocolate I only melted 3 squares of the almond bark at a time and i put about a tsp of shortening in it (very important). The best way to dip them i found was to put a tooth pick in the cake ball dipped it in chocolate and then I LEFT the tooth pick in until the chocolate dried and then i went back and gentle pulled the tooth pick out and filled the whole with chocolate. I was also thinking of using the decorating icing (the kind you buy in the cake section for decorating cakes) next time to fill the wholes.
