Delicious bite-sized cake balls made from crumbled cake mixed with frosting and coated in chocolate—perfect for parties and snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on box)
  • 1 cup buttercream frosting (homemade or store-bought)
  • 12 oz semi‑sweet or white melting chocolate or candy coating
  • Sprinkles or chopped nuts (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Bake cake according to package directions; allow to cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs.
  3. Add frosting to the crumbs and mix until uniformly moistened and easily holds shape.
  4. Roll mixture into 1‑inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  5. Freeze or chill balls for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  6. Melt coating chocolate following package instructions.
  7. Dip chilled cake balls into melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool; tap off excess.
  8. Place coated cake balls on parchment; optionally top with sprinkles or nuts before chocolate sets.
  9. Refrigerate until coating is set, about 15–20 minutes. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Customize cake flavor (red velvet, carrot). Match frosting and coating accordingly.
  • Use candy melts in different colors for themed treats.
  • Ensure cake balls are firm before dipping to prevent breakage.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze up to 1 month.
  • Reheat frozen cake balls in the fridge overnight before serving.
