I always like to make a new treat/ snack/ meal every season. At the start of the year I was on a roll with cooking one meal a week, I have to admit, I have been slipping these past few months. I’m hoping to do more cooking these next few months as fall and winter settle in. I did manage to make a new fall dessert a few weeks back with my mom. Here’s a tasty recipe for cold days inside. This is a super simple, three ingredient dessert that’s perfect for any get together.

Cake Balls
Ingredients:
- Cake mix (baked or pre-made)
- Icing
- Melting chocolate
- Garnishes (sprinkles, chocolate chips, etc.)
Directions:
- Make cake (I used chocolate for this recipe, but any flavor works. I just made a cake from the box with eggs, water and oil. )
- Once cake is baked, let it cool.

3. Break apart cake until it’s all broken up.

4. Combine icing (I used chocolate) and cake and mix together.

5. Roll cake mix into balls and then place in freezer for 30 minutes.

6. Once they were done in the freezer, I melted chocolate and dipped the cake balls in to completely cover them. It can get messy, so I would reccommend using a spoon to dip them.

7. The chocolate dries fast, so make sure you dip them fast and add garnishes, whether it’s sprinkles or chocolate chips or nuts.
