Today the tweens made ghoulish creatures out of cake balls and chocolate. They had a blast making them and an even better time eating them. This is a fun activity for really any age group, even the really big kids. You know who you are!
To make cake balls all you do is bake a cake according to the package directions. Let it cool and then in a bowl mix it up with 3/4 can of frosting. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands shape into balls. You can usually get about 50 balls per package of cake mix. Let the balls firm up in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. Chocolate melts work the best for dipping but regular chocolate chips with a little oil works really well too. Melt the chocolate. Dip the stick in the chocolate and then stick it into the ball. Dip the ball into the chocolate letting the excess chocolate drip down. Have fun decorating them. Stick them in the fridge or freezer to harden the chocolate if necessary. It's better to keep the cake balls in the fridge after they are made.
