CAKE BITES
Feeling creative? Try making your own flavors of Cake Bites! These little bonbon-like treats are extremely simple to make. First decide what flavor of cake to bake, next decide what type of cake frosting goes well with your cake, and last, choose a candy coating that compliments your sweet little treats!!
Ingredients:
- 1 box Cake Mix, plus ingredients required to bake the cake
- 1 can Cake Frosting
- Dipping Chocolate, Almond Bark or Flavored Candy Wafers
- Flavored Candy Oils (to flavor Vanilla Candy Wafers), Optional
- Decorator sprinkles
Directions:
1. Prepare cake according to directions on box.
2. When done, pull cake out of oven and cool completely.
3. In a large bowl, crumble cake and mix in the can of cake frosting.
4. With a melon baller, scoop the cake mixture and place on a cookie sheet, close enough to where they are almost touching, to get as many bites on a single sheet.
5. Place cookie sheet in freezer. Freeze for at least 1-hour (can be frozen for 24-hours).
6. Melt your dipping chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave at P-50 for 1 – 2 minutes, stopping the microwave every 30 seconds to stir until completely melted.
7. Dip the frozen Cake Bites in the melted chocolate, spooning chocolate over to completely cover bites.
8. With a fork, scoop out the Cake Bite, tap off excess chocolate and place on a sheet of wax paper to dry.
9. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with decorator sprinkles of your choice; or, with a different color candy wafer, swizzle the tops of each Cake Bite for a dramatic effect.
10. Return to freezer until ready to serve.
