Cake Bites

I know these are everywhere now but my mom has been making them for years. They're a perfect little bite-sized treat. Everyone loves them. 

Ingredients:

1 box any flavor cake mix

1 jar any flavor frosting

Whatever ingredients the cake mix calls for (usually eggs, vegetable oil, and water)

Chocolate chips or chocolate candy melts

Sprinkles (optional)

1. Bake the cake as directed on the box. Let cool. 


2. Once the cake has cooled completely, crumble it all up in a bowl. 

3. Add the whole jar of frosting. Mix well. 

4. Roll the cake mixture into little bite sized balls and place on a cookie sheet. Put them in the freezer. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate. If you have a double boiler, use that. If you're like me, use 2 different sized pans. Fill the larger pan with about 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil and put the smaller pan (with the chocolate) on top of it. Stir constantly to keep from burning. 

5. Take the cake out of the freezer. Dip them one by one into the chocolate. I put them on a fork so the extra chocolate will just drip back into the pan. You can also put them on toothpicks or sucker sticks so they're more like cake pops. Decorate them with sprinkles, or candy, or you can pipe more chocolate on them. There's a million options. Be creative!
