So deelish! They look elegant and are surprisingly luscious.

- Eggs ( number according to the instructions on the box )

- 2 C Frosting ( flavor of your choice )
- 1 ( 3 ounce ) Bar Chocolate Confectioners Coating ( I melted chocolate chips )


1) Make cake according to box. When cake is done, and still warm, crumble into large bowl.
2) Stir in the frosting until well blended.
3) Melt chocolate in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring until melted and smooth.
4) Use a melon baller or small scoop to form balls of the cake mixture.
5) Dip ( or drizzle ) the balls in the chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them. Place on wax paper to set.
* If desired, roll in nuts, coconut, chocolate chips, non-pareils ( sprinkles ), or drizzle white chocolate to decorate.

I made these last night, I really thought they'd be "okay".. but.. they were SO good, people are requesting them for gifts for friends! Highly recommend trying these yourself! I used Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and coated with Semi-sweet Chocolate. Photos to follow!

As promised, here are some pictures. I took some step by step shots to make sure everything was as clear as could be. Enjoy!
