Cake Balls

By jpaison

You can use any flavor cake mix and icing you choose. My preference is lemon, but I have used a red velvet mix and tinted almond bark with green coloring for christmas. You must refrigerate cake mix in order to roll into balls. I find it is easier to work with half of cake and leave other half in the freezer while dipping. Have fun experimenting with different flavors.

Ingredients

• 18 ounces lemon cake mix, any brand
• 3 eggs (or as called for by your cake mix)
• 1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
• 1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)
• 1 (15 ounce) container ready made lemon frosting, any brand
• 1 (20 ounce) package almond bark (vanilla confectioner's coating)
