If your like me, you always have that little bit of cake left over
from leveling. We would always just eat it but, have you tried making
cake balls with it? I've tried this recipe with just regular cake and it
was great!

I
first tasted these two years ago at a Christmas party and immediately
had to have the recipe. It’s based on a mix, but I imagine you can
follow the same directions substituting from scratch cake and frosting
(I’ll try that one day). You can also try it with other cake
combinations.
Red Velvet Cake Balls
1 box red velvet cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
1 can cream cheese frosting (16 oz.)
1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate)
wax paper
1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
2.
Mix thoroughly with 1 can cream cheese frosting. (It may be easier to
use fingers to mix together, but be warned it will get messy.)
3.
Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet. (Should
make 45-50. You can get even more if you use a mini ice cream scooper,
but I like to hand roll them.)
4. Chill for several hours. (You can speed this up by putting in the freezer.)
5. Melt chocolate in microwave per directions on package.
6. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)
I
also only melt a few pieces of chocolate bark at a time because it
starts to cool and thicken. It’s easier to work with when it’s hot.
