You can easily turn these into cake pops if you prefer. Truly it’s as simple as getting some lollipop sticks to put in them and there you go! Easy! Also, it’s totally optional but if you do make cake pops, one of these holders make displaying so easy!  This is the one I have and I love it! You can see all of the ones here. 

Let’s get started making this Easy Cake Ball Recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 box cake mix and ingredients to make cake (usually water, egg and oil)
• 1 tub frosting of your choice or  Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
• 12 ounces white baking chocolate 
• 12 ounces dark baking chocolate 
• Valentine sprinkles 

How to make Cake Bites:

First, a few tips. If you have never made these before, grab more chocolate than you think you need. Better to have more than run out mid baking session. I use the Wilton Chocolate Dipping spoon. This helps drain the chocolate off the balls and use less chocolate. It’s totally worth it! I also recommend a cookie scoop. You can easily make these into balls that are uniform and it’s so easy. I use these all the time on so many recipes.

 

 Let’s get started! 

 1. Bake cake according to package directions and cool completely.

2. Slice cake into small pieces and place into a mixing bowl.

3. Break apart large pieces with a spoon. Add about 3/4 tub of frosting and mix well.

4. You may need to use your hands for this. If mixture seems dry and won’t shape into a ball, add more frosting.

5. Place wax paper onto a baking sheet or cutting board and clear a space in your refrigerator.

6. Shape cake into 1″ balls, using a tablespoon portion scoop is the easiest way, just make sure you roll the balls smooth with the palms of your hand.

7. Place onto prepared pan and refrigerate for 1 hour.

11. Place onto another baking sheet lined with wax paper.

12. Sprinkle with valentine sprinkles and refrigerate for chocolate to firm up.

13. Makes 60-70 cake bites

These also freeze well.

I love how versatile this easy cake ball recipe is!

It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day but I can also easily change it for someone’s birthday too! These will quickly become a new favorite I’m sure. We like to put several in a pretty Valentine’s container or cup and wrap with cellophane to hand out. Of course, tie with pretty Valentine’s ribbon to complete the look. So pretty!
