Ingredients

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix I used Betty Crocker
  • cup vanilla icing I used Betty Crocker
  • 1 bag green candy melts 12 oz
  • White sprinkles

Instructions

  • Start by preparing your cake batter by package directions. Beat cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or two 8×8-inch round cake dishes and bake in a 350 degree F oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely, then crumble it with a fork in a large bowl or in the baking dish. Stir the frosting into the crumbled cake, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until chilled.
  • Use a cookie scoop and your hands to roll the mixture into evenly sized small balls and place on large baking sheet. You want to try make them all a consistent size – aim for the size of a ping pong ball.
  • Freeze again until balls are hard.
  • Remove the chilled dough balls and give them another little roll to smooth out the sides. Then place on a cookie sheet. 
  • Melt candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals or in a double boiler. Dip the end of the stick into the melted chocolate, then stick into one of the frozen cake balls.
  • Do this with all of them and put back in freezer till they are solidified.
  • Gently dip balls into the melted chocolate or spoon the chocolate onto balls and twirl to coat, letting the excess chocolate drizzle off onto parchment paper. Decorate with the white sprinkles.
  • Place them upright in a styrofoam block, or a cardboard box to harden to 2-3 minutes. There you have it, the perfect treat for your next celebration!
