Decadent Chocolate Dipped Cake Balls

These cake balls are made by crumbling baked cake and mixing it with frosting, then rolling them into balls and dipping them in melted chocolate. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and yields approximately 24 cake balls.

Ingredients

1 baked cake (any flavor, cooled and crumbled)
1/2 cup frosting (matching cake flavor)
8 ounces chocolate (dark, milk, or white, for dipping)
Sprinkles or toppings (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Cake: Bake your favorite cake according to the package or recipe instructions. Allow it to cool completely before crumbling.
Make the Cake Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cake with the frosting. Mix until well combined and the mixture holds together.
Form the Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill: Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Dip the Cake Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place them back on the parchment paper.
Decorate: If desired, sprinkle toppings or drizzle additional melted chocolate over the dipped cake balls before the chocolate sets.
Chill Again: Return the cake balls to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
Serve: Enjoy your delicious chocolate dipped cake balls or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
