Ingredients
  

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (any flavor)

  2. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl.
  3. Add the frosting and mix until well combined.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Dip each cake ball into melted candy melts or chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
  6. Decorate with Halloween sprinkles.
  7. Let the cake balls set until firm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Let your baked cake cool completely before crumbling so the texture stays firm.
  • Roll your mixture into neat 1-inch balls for even coating and a professional look.
  • Tap your dipping tool gently to remove excess chocolate before adding sprinkles.
  • Store your finished treats in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh all week long.
