Description

Chocolate covered cake balls are a delicious and fun treat. They are made with cake crumbs combined with a sweet and creamy filling, then rolled into balls and dipped in chocolate. They make a great dessert for parties or special occasions, or just a tasty snack to enjoy any time. The combination of flavors and textures make these a hit with everyone who tries them.

The cake balls are made with cake crumbs and a filling of cream cheese, butter, and confectioners’ sugar. The filling is sweet and creamy, and blends perfectly with the cake crumbs. The mixture is then shaped into balls and refrigerated until firm. The cake balls are then dipped into melted chocolate and allowed to set. Once set, they are ready to be enjoyed.

Ingredients

For the cake balls:

  • 1 box cake mix, plus ingredients called for on the box
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1⁄2 cup confectioners’ sugar

For the chocolate coating:

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions and bake in a 9-inch round cake pan. Let the cake cool completely.

2. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, and confectioners’ sugar. Use a hand mixer to beat until light and fluffy. Crumble the cooled cake into the bowl and mix together with the cream cheese mixture until thoroughly combined.

3. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

4. Place the chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, stir, and then heat for an additional 30 seconds. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

5. Dip each cake ball into the chocolate and use a spoon to coat completely. Place back on the baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set before serving.
