Cake Balls

I first heard about this recipe on a mommy forum that I go to. Since then I've seen the recipe a few different times on various websites or in various cookbooks. It is delicious and clearly not a weight watcher recipe or low-cal, lol! Again, it can be as versatile as you want it to be...just make it with the flavors you love.

yield: a lot

cooking spray
1 cake mix, flavor of your choice
1 can of diet soda (sprite/7up for a light colored cake or coke/dr. pepper for a dark colored cake)
1 egg (I used egg beater)
1 can of your favorite frosting (one that compliments your cake choice)
1 pkg of almond bark (white or chocolate per your flavors of choice): melted

1. preheat oven per cake directions
2. spray 9x13 cake pan
3. mix your cake mix, diet soda and egg together
4. pour into cake pan and bake as directed on cake mix packaging
5. when cake is done, cool to room temperature (or close)
6. dump cake (all broken up is fine) into a large bowl and stir in frosting
7. freeze or refrigerate for an hour or so - this way it isn't so sticky to work with
8. scoop out a spoonful at a time and roll into a ball and sit on waxed paper
9. dip balls into melted almond bark (you may need to stop and put back in the fridge for a bit)
10. set on cooling rack or waxed paper for chocolate to dry
11. these are rich, delicious and addicting - ENJOY!

I did chocolate cake with the coconut pecan frosting. Another combination I've heard of is vanilla frosting with strawberry cake. You could do a homemade peanut butter frosting with a chocolate cake...again, LOTS of options on this one :) Oooh...or a carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting...yummy!!
