Holiday Treats

Last week, I caved and decided to make some Christmas goodies. Here is the recipe for the Chocolate Cake Balls:



Here's what you need: A box of chocolate cake mix, (plus whatever ingredients are called for on the box), chocolate frosting, chocolate chips, and a container of your favorite sprinkles.




Bake the cake according to the directions on the box. Allow the cake to cool, and then crumble it into little bits using a fork.


Mix most of the container of frosting into the cake (you probably won't need it all, because it tends to get soggy and sticky).




Shape the mix into balls and place on a cookie sheet covered in wax or parchment paper. At this point, you should refrigerate them for several hours so that they do not fall apart when they are dipped in the hot chocolate.



Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Dip the balls in the chocolate until they are covered and then allow them to cool on the cookie sheet.
**I found that it was easier to drizzle them with chocolate than to dip them, but then they don't get covered all the way around.




Cover with your favorite sprinkles and pop them back into the refrigerator for a little while to harden. YUM!!!
