Cake Balls
Well, for Christmas this last year, I made Cake Balls and it was a huge hit. So, I am going to do the same thing for the 4th of July weekend, with a bit of patriotic twist by sprinkling on blue and red sprinkles while the coating is still wet! For anyone wanting to copycat, I am sharing the recipe because these things are just frickin' amazing! They also lend themselves well to freezing/thawing when needed.
Cake Balls:
Ingredients1 Cake Mix1 16 oz Frosting1 Pkg chocolate or vanilla flavored confectioners coating (Almond Bark)

Re: Cake Balls
I LOVE CB....my husband requests them every year for his birthday.
When you add the frosting and make them into a round shape, are they mushy on the inside? Like almost wet-like? I've always wondered if I was doing something wrong or if they were supposed to be that way...aka not the consistency of cake in the ball form.
Does that make any sense?

@Barb - Yes, they are supposed to be wet/mushy.
@Mel - They are SO addicting! Plus, each cake you get like 12 pieces out of, and you get 30+ balls (hehe) out of, so you get more bang for your buck, plus, you usually just want one, and it is WAY less than a piece of cake! : )
