Method:
| 1. | Bake cake according to package directions in
any size cake pan. |
| 2. | Remove cake from oven, trim off edges of cake
and immediately dump into a large bowl. |
| 3. | It's easiest to use a food processor, but you
can use a fork for this step. Break up the cake into crumbs and
then combine the frosting with the cake. If you're doing this
using a fork, it's easier to do it while the cake is still warm. |
| 4. | Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. |
| 5. | Roll cake mixture into golf ball sized balls (or
a little smaller) or use a scoop for uniform sizing. Set on cookie
sheet. |
| 6. | Put cookie sheet into the freezer for 2 hours
so that the balls will chill. An option is to put individual
cake balls on a sucker
stick or Popsicle stick (before you freeze them) and leave
the stick in as a "handle"! |
| 7. | After the balls are chilled, melt chocolate
according to instructions that came with your Chocoley chocolate.
Ideally, use a double boiler (or a double boiler insert). Do
not let the water touch the bottom of the double boiler. Only
let the water simmer. Do not allow it to boil or you may burn
the chocolate. Tempering Instructions for INDULGENCE & Just Melt It! Melting Instructions for Bada Bing Bada Boom Dipping & Enrobing Chocolate |

stick, add one frozen cake ball at a time to the melted chocolate
and turn to coat. |
| 9. | Place on Heavy Weight Dipping Sheets and refrigerate until set. |
Promptly remove from refrigerator and seal in an airtight container until ready to serve. |
|
| Store at room temperature in low humidity. | |
