Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with notstick foil
Whisk together dry cake mix and cocoa powder. Add water, vegetable oil, and eggs, mixing only until combined. Spread in prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes. Let cook to room temperature. Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl. Stir in frosting and peanut butter chips by hand. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place cake balls on a cookie sheet and freeze until solid. Melt bark coating pieces according to package directions. Dip cake balls in coating mix and place on a cookie sheet to let coarting set. If you are using the chocolate sprinkles for decoration on top, dip 8 cake balls at a time and immediately sprinkle before the coating sets so the sprinkles will adhere. Refrigerate cake ball truffles until ready to serve.
