Cake Balls

I made these for Ryan's surprise birthday party last week and they turned out delicious.  There are a ton of ways to make these will endless combinations but here is the basic recipe.

1. Cook one cake (I used a red velvet cake). Let it cool for 10-15 minutes and then dish it all into a bowl, crumbling.  

2. Let the cake cool for another half hour or so, the add half of a container of frosting to the cake mixture and stir.

3. Form into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

4. After you have formed the balls, put them on a cookie sheet and freeze.  If you want to do this step ahead of time, you can place the frozen balls into a tupperware and save, but if you want to make them the same day, freeze for at least half an hour.

5. Melt your chocolate and then dip the balls.  I used white chocolate and tried using a toothpick to dip the balls but they quickly slid off the toothpick so I just dipped them in with a spoon.  If you have an old easter egg dipper around, it would work great.

6. Let the chocolate set and then drizzle milk chocolate over for decoration.

My sister in law make a brownie variation to this recipe that is amazing.

Cook the brownies a little less than normal so they are gooey.  Crumble them and form into balls.

Melt chocolate and mix with peanut butter, and then dip the balls. Delicious!
