Before jumping on the low-carb bandwagon again, I just had to try this recipe I saw for Cake Balls. I actually saw the recipe in the New Orleans Times Picayune and the balls were on a stick. OK - I can't keep calling them balls, but that seems to be what everyone's calling them. I just keep thinking about Alex Baldwin's SNL skit, Schwetty Balls. Anyway, I just saw a place on the web that is selling 6 for $16. WHAT?? I made over 50 with one box of cake mix, one tub of icing and a bag of white chocolate chips - less that $6.
While I would have made chocolate or red velvet, I was making these with my kids and their friends, so we used a yellow cake mix and vanilla icing. The sprinkles even came with the icing.
1 Box Cake Mix
1 Tub Icing
2 Bags white chocolate chips (melting chocolate would be better)
1. Prepare cake mix as directed. Let cool completely.
2. In a large bowl, crumble cake mix and add icing. Stir to combine. (I used my stand mixer.)Icing will soak into crumbs.
3. Optional: Place cake mixture in fridge during next step.
4. Melt chocolate in a double boiler.
5. Remove cake mixture from fridge. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop cake mix and form into bite-sized balls. (Put balls on lollipop sticks if desired.)
6. Dip balls in chocolate. Decorate with sprinkles. Place in fridge for chocolate to harden.
I made these with my kids, so they are not perfect, but still adorable and delicious. And way better than paying $16 plus shipping for 6.

Those look much better than the one I tried with regular white chocolate. I ended up going to a cake shop to get the dipping chocolate they use. It's much easier. For me it was.
Thanks for visiting my blog! These are definitely going to be a cheat day recipe! Did you see my oreo truffles? Highly recommended....but not on a low carb diet! Drat!
