Anyway, this is a great tasting recipe, and it was called BonBons when I first found it.
1 cake mix, any variety/flavor (and the ingredients to make it)
1 container frosting, whatever you think will taste good
1/2 package almond bark
Bake the cake according to the package directions and when it's finished, dump it into a bowl and break it all up into a pile of crumbles. Let it cool, then stir in the frosting. Yes, make a big bowl of gooey mess. Place the bowl in the fridge to set for about 30 minutes.
Using a small scoop, (I suppose you could use a teaspoon and your hands to roll) make small balls and set them on a lined cookie sheet. Just scoop out a ball of the mix. Place them just apart on the cookie sheet so they don't stick to each other.
Once the cookie sheet is full of balls, insert a toothpick into each one and set the entire tray into the freezer. Allow the balls to freeze through for easier dipping.
Melt almond bark in a double boiler, or in the microwave following package directions.
Remove frozen balls from freezer and use the the toothpick handle to dip them in the coating and place them on another lined cookie sheet or in miniature muffin cups. Allow the coating to set and enjoy!
*Of note, the first time I made these I swore that I would never make them again, but I have had so many requests for them I decided to try it again. I strongly recommend that you use a toothpick frozen in each one. If you try to just dunk them and fish them out with a fork, either you have way too much chocolate coating on them, or the ball falls apart as you try to shake off the extra chocolate.
I personally think these sound great with strawberry cake, cream cheese frosting and vanilla almond bark, but I don't need to eat a whole batch :D Be creative and have fun!
The scoop I have made 77 balls.
The movie is Accepted. ;-)
