These are so cute, festive, really delicious and very easy to make!
Thanks to my friend Susie Rees for sharing the recipe!
Bake a cake in a 9 x 13 pan. Let it cool. Crumble it in a big bowl--yes....crumble it up. Then stir in about a cup of frosting. I used chocolate cake and canned chocolate frosting (which, by the way, canned frosting is pretty much "against my religion," but the original recipe I sampled was created this way and it tasted so good I decided to make it the same way. This was the first time I made the recipe and next time I will use homemade frosting). Mix it well with a wooden spoon.
Form balls and set them on waxed paper. You can put them in the fridge or freezer to firm up if you would like.
Dip a cone in melted "candy melts" chocolates. Then add a cake ball. Set this in a mug to let that chocolate set for a few minutes. This holds the cake ball to the cone. THEN you can turn it upsie down and dip the cake ball in yummy chocolate. Embellish with sprinkles now if you want to, before the chocolate sets. (****If your chocolate gets "cranky" add a couple teaspoons of Crisco and melt it a bit more).
SIDE NOTES: Susie suggested adding ice-cream in the bottom of the cone, then making them and storing them in the freezer till serving..INTERESTING IDEA! I like it.
--Another friend suggested not using cake balls as described above, but instead making rice crispy balls, then dipping in chocolate. YUM!
So many endless and delicious ideas! Makes me happy. If you come up with another idea, post it for us here in the comments!
Happy Weekend!
