I enjoy white chocolate. Not everyone does. These are a version of chocolate cakeballs. And, since I am physically incapable of not adding peppermint to desserts or hot beverages these days, I made them peppermint-flavored.
Chocolate Peppermint Cakeballs
makes approximately 40
1 box cake mix (I used Pillsbury Triple Chocolate Fudge.)
1 cup liquid (I've used eggnog, water, almond milk, etc. I think just about anything will work here.)
1/3 cup oil (I used half applesauce/half oil.)
3 eggs
1 can buttercream frosting (I used buttercream to keep it from being too chocolate-heavy. I'm sure some of you will disagree with this practice :)
1 cup crushed peppermints or candy canes
1 package chocolate almond bark
Bake the cake according to package directions. The ingredients above are what I added. The ingredient amount may depend on the brand of cake mix.
Let the cake cool, then crumble it up. Stir in the can of frosting until you have a thick dough.
Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet. Cover and freeze overnight.
Melt the candy melts in the microwave. It will take about 2 minutes total. I used 45 second intervals.
Dip the frozen cake balls into the candy coating and then place on wax paper to set. Decorate with crushed peppermints or candy cane pieces before the candy coating hardens. I like to store these in the freezer because I think they taste best that way.
