How To Make chocolate raspberry cake balls
-
Step 1Prepare cake mix as instructed on box. Cool.
-
Step 2When cooled, crumble cake into a bowl, and mix in just enough frosting so the mixture binds and is easily rolled by hand into balls (I usually use half the container of frosting).
-
Step 3Add Raspberry liquor into frosting, stir well. Also add raspberry jam to your liking.
-
Step 4Roll into bite-sized balls, and freeze for an hour or two -or overnight (optional, but highly recommended, as it helps them hold shape when dipping, especially when using toothpicks. I’d say don’t use a toothpick if you skip the freezer step.)
-
Step 5Lay cake balls across parchment paper.
-
Step 6In a microwaveable bowl, melt the candy bark as directed on package
-
Step 7Using a toothpick (cleaner results) or two forks, dip (or roll) balls in melted chocolate.
-
Step 8If frozen, work quickly to decorate right after dipping or coating will harden. If not frozen, they will not harden immediately and you can dip them all before decorating.
-
Step 9Once all coated, allow to harden. You may now package them however you like, such as: in goodie bags, in mini cupcake wrappers, etc!
-
Step 10If making cake pops, place each ball on stick and then freeze so they would be easier to handle when dipping into chocolate.
