Cake Bites

Ingredients:

Cake mix (I used devils food)

Chocolate frosting

Dipping chocolate

Directions:-Start by baking the cake according to the directions on the box. Once the cake is baked, pull it out of the oven and let it cool for about 20-30 minutes. Dump the cake into a large mixing bowl and add 2 spoon fulls of frosting and begin mashing the frosting into the cake with your hands. Once all of the frosting is mixed into the cake and it is moist you can begin rolling the mixture into balls with the palms of your hands. Place the ball onto a baking sheet or plate lined with wax paper. (You'll be needing to put it into your freezer so whatever will fit is what you should place it on.) I flattend the bottom of the ball and shapeed it into more of a square. (as shown above ).

Once you have filled the baking sheet or plate with the cake bites place it in the freezer and let it sit for 30-40 minutes until the cake bites have hardened. You'll need to create a double broiler by placing a metal mixing bowl on top of a saucepan that has water in it. Set it on low-medium heat.

Then place your chocolate in the bowl and begin melting. Using the toothpicks, poke the toothpick into the bottom of the cake bite and up through it almost to the top. Then stir it around in the melted chocolate until it is completely coated. Remove the excess chocolate off by tapping the toothpick on the side of the bowl- gently. Then carefully scrape the cake bite off of the toothpick and onto a spoon, slide it off the spoon and back onto the wax paper. This will help reduce the amount of chocolate that will puddle around the bottom of the cake bite. Place the tray of coated cake bites in a cool area to harden. Wait about 2-3 hours after coating the cake bites before eating.
Here is the finished product.
