German Chocolate Cake Balls

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with non stick spray.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl add the cake mix, water, oil and eggs. Beat together until combined and all lumps are gone. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 26-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5

When cake has cooled, place big pieces into a zip top bag for tomorrow or....crumble into a large bowl, making sure to remove any hard edges. Stir in the WHOLE container of frosting. Form 33-36 balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the cookie sheet with the balls in the freezer for 30 minutes.

!For the Candy Melts:

Step 9

ONLY MELT ONE BAG AT A TIME. Line another cookie sheet with parchment paper. Pour candy into a microwave safe bowl. Heat 1 minute on high, stir. Place back in the microwave and heat an additional 30 seconds on 70%. Stir. If the candy is not completely melted, keep stirring until creamy. Use a skewer and stick it into the top of a cake ball, dip the whole thing in the melted candy ( shake off and excess candy). Place on the second prepared cookie sheet, shake off or use a fork to remove skewer. While the candy is still wet add the topping. Once all the cake balls have been dipped and decorated, place on the counter to harden or for a faster result in the refrigerator (about 10 minutes).
