Ingredients
  • 1 box strawberry cake mix, prepared according to package
  • 1 container pre-made strawberry frosting (separated)
  • 12-16 ounces vanilla candy melts (white chocolate)
  • Rainbow sprinkles (at least 1 cup or more)
Instructions
  1. Bake cake according to directions on box. Let cool completely.
  2. When cake is cool, break it up/crumble into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Mix in about ¾ of the container of strawberry frosting. Start by adding about half or two-thirds of the frosting, and then add a little more until you've got a nice, firm "dough" that holds together when made into a ball. Note: I find that it works best to "knead" the cake and frosting mixture with my hands until it feels nice and smooth.
  4. Using a cookie scoop, make balls, rolling each ball gently in the palm of your hands until smooth. Place balls on a large cookie sheet lined with waxed paper or parchment paper.
  5. Place finished balls in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, melt the candy melts according to package directions. Add sprinkles to a small bowl and set next to your work area. Remove from freezer when you're ready to dip.
  7. Dip each ball, one at a time, into the candy melts, rolling to cover all sides. Let excess candy drip off. Place coated ball immediately into a bowl of sprinkles and roll around to coat. Place finished cake balls on another lined cookie sheet.
Notes
I use a cookie scoop like THIS to make uniform and well-rounded balls. This makes the process so much quicker, too!
