Directions:Dump a full cake into a mixing bowl and mix with a hand mixer until all blended. Place in refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight to set. Remove from refrigerator and roll into 1" balls. Lay balls on a cookie sheet and freeze for at least an hour.
For "Peanut Butter Dream",
I started with a Skippy ball, molding the chocolate cake around them. I dipped in chocolate bark, then sprinkled with crushed Nutter Butter Cookies.
I made these "Peppermint Christmas) using
the white cake with white icing, adding a few drops of peppermint flavoring and ¼ cup of crushed candy canes. Dip in white almond bark and sprinkle with more candy canes.
For the "Almond Amaretto",
I used the Amaretto cake, adding a block of softened almond paste to the dough while mixing. Roll, dip in white chocolate and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
And finally, "Death by Chocolate":
Add micro chocolate chips by hand to the cake before refrigerating first time. Roll into balls, dip in chocolate and cover with chocolate sprinkles. |

Notes: I used to bake the cakes from scratch and add a tub of Betty Crocker frosting (in whatever flavor), but then I found Candy Haven remnant cakes. These are pieces of molded cakes that they mold into a cake-like shape and frost. At $7.50 per cake, they're the best deal in town and perfect for this job! These are the flavors I made in 2020 but you can do so many -- strawberry, lemon, butterscotch, marbled... I take them every year to the Elks Dessert Roulette and they are a crowd favorite.
