Yummy Cake Balls...

You will need 1 boxed cake mix of your choice, a container of icing and bark (white, chocolate or both)

1. Bake your cake to box directions, let cool for 1 hour.
2. In a large bowl crumble the cake.
3. Then add about 3/4 the can of frosting, any more than that and I think it makes it too mushy.
4. Roll the cake mixture into balls and place on a lined cookie sheet and put in the freezer for 1 hour to harden, this makes it easier when dipping the cake balls into the chocolate.
5. Melt your chocolate bark in a bowl.
6. Then take the frozen cake balls and dip them in the chocolate and roll them till fully covered, place them back on the lined cookie sheet to harden, then enjoy :)

This was my 1st time makin them, I made 1 batch of Strawberry cake, cream cheese icing and milk chocolate. Then another batch of hm pumpkin cake/zucchini bread (I had these in the fridge and they needed to be used up), with leftover icing from Christmas Cookie Night and white chocolate. I used a Tablespoon of cake mixture for each cake ball, next time I'm gonna make em smaller.

Alittle messy to make :)







* The great thing about these balls is you can play around with a number of different cake mixes, icing and bark and come up with some really great ideas.

  4. Good Luck and it is a struggle. I've wanted to weigh smaller (20 lbs. smaller) for years but just cant seem to get there because I love to eat and I cant be one of them people that dont eat. This past 1 1/2 years I've come to realize I'm fine with the weight I am now, I'm at the high end of my height range but I guess I look fine, lol. I do try my best to balance everything out so I dont gain. If I can keep maintaining , I'm fine with that.
