Cake Balls

Print

For fundraising or parties, nothing is simpler and more enjoyed that Cake balls. They're fun and easy to make and the flavour combinations are endless.

Ingredients

  • 1 box of Duncan Hines cake mix (Devil's Food Cake)
  • 2/3 of a small container of Duncan Hines vanilla homestyle icing
  • 1 bag of Walton's Candy Melts
  • Brewed coffee
  • Prepare cake mix as it says on the box, only replace water with the brewed coffee. Bake as directed in cake pan and then let cool.
  • Crumble the cake in a bowl and add 2/3 of the icing and mix throughly until everything comes together.
  • Form into little balls on a pan and freeze for about ten minutes or until firm.
  • While cake balls are firming, use a double broiler and melt the candy melts. You can use a microwave, but there's a higher risk of burning the candy melts.
  • When smooth, dip cake balls into the candy melts and coat evenly. Place back on pan and repeat until all cake balls are covered. Let set and enjoy!
