Festive holiday cake balls the whole family will enjoy!
Ingredients
  • One box of cake mix
  • 1 can of frosting
  • 1-2 bags chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed peppermint
Instructions
  1. Follow the instructions on the cake mix box regarding additional ingredients and baking temperatures. You can use whichever cake mix you desire. I used Duncan Hines Chocolate Fudge.
  2. After the cake has baked, let cool. Once cool, rip up cake to pieces.
  3. Combine one can of frosting (again, whichever flavor you desire) to cake pieces, forming a batter-like consistency.
  4. Roll out cake/frosting batter into balls and place on parchment-lined cookie sheet.
  5. Place sheets in freezer overnight.
  6. After the cake has chilled in freezer overnight, take out. Melt chocolates either on stove or in a microwave in a microwave safe bowl.
  7. Crush peppermints so that they're in tiny little pieces. If you crush too much, they'll turn into a powder.
  8. Roll balls into chocolate, place on cookie sheet and add crushed peppermint pieces before chocolate begins to harden.
  9. Place back in freezer for 20-30 minutes or until chocolate exterior is fully hardened.
  10. Enjoy!
