Jump to Recipe• 1 box of your favorite cake mix (chocolate or vanilla work great)
• 1 can of your favorite frosting (or make your own)
• 1 package of candy melts (for coating)
• Food coloring (optional)
• Sprinkles and decorations of your choice
Prepare and bake the cake according to the instructions on the box. Once done, let it cool completely.
Crumble the cake into a large bowl, making sure there are no large chunks left. You can use your hands or a fork to break up the cake.
Next, add the frosting to the crumbled cake. This will help bind the cake together and create a dough-like consistency. Mix well until the cake and frosting are fully combined.
Using your hands, roll the cake mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to firm up.
While the cake balls are chilling, melt the candy melts according to the instructions on the package. You can add food coloring to the melted candy for a fun and spooky effect.
Once the cake balls are chilled and the candy coating is melted, it's time to dip and decorate! Using a fork, dip each cake ball into the candy coating, making sure it is evenly coated. Gently tap off any excess coating and place the cake ball back onto the lined baking sheet. Add sprinkles and other decorations while the coating is still wet.
Place the finished cake balls back into the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the candy coating to set. Once set, they are ready to be served and enjoyed!
These Halloween cake balls are the perfect spooky treat for any Halloween party or gathering. Get creative with different cake and frosting flavors, as well as different decorations and designs. And don't forget to have fun while making them! Happy Halloween!
