Cake Mix: Any flavor cake mix will work. The size of the box/package should be a standard size box ( 15-18 oz) for the recipe to work correctly. Don’t forget you will need any ingredients called for on the box!
Canned Frosting: Again, use your favorite flavor/brand. As long as the can is 14 ounces ( or close to it) in size, you are good to go.
Melting Chocolate: I like to use Wilton candy melts for these types of recipes. However, you may find a different brand/variety that you like. The Wilton variety can usually be found in Walmart. If you can’t locate them, check out the recipe card for the link to purchase.
Recipe Notes:
- After baking the cake, let it cool for approx 20-30 minutes before breaking up the cake. This makes the process easier and safer. You don’t want to burn yourself!
- Don’t skip the freezing step! The longer you can freeze the formed cake balls, the better. But, be sure to freeze for at least an hour. If desired, you can freeze them overnight for several days before coating them in chocolate. If you don’t freeze them, they will fall apart in the hot melted chocolate when you coat them.
- If you wish to add sprinkles or toppings, do this immediately after coating them in melted chocolate. The chocolate sets pretty quick!
- Want to Make Cake Pops? Simply insert a lollipop stick in the formed truffle before freezing. You can probably find these in the same section as the Wilton melting chocolate, but, again, check out the recipe card for a link to purchase.
