One of my favorite things to make that is literally SO ANNOYING are cakeballs. I love them because they are little bundles of cream cheese icing and cake batter all in one. I hate them because they are honestly a pain to make. You bake cake. Ruin it. Roll cake into balls. Dip them. Sprinkle them. Let them dry. It is just a long process and a tedious one. But for 140 calories a pop they should take you awhile.
Another disclaimer: this recipe makes your kitchen a mess. I don't know if it was the fact my friend, my sister and I were making these. Or that we were watching reality TV at the same time. But my OCD mother about had a heart attack. However, I consoled her with giving her a cake ball and then making my sister clean the kitchen.
You need cake batter, cream cheese icing, sprinkles and white chocolate candy coating squares. You can also use almond bark.
Make your cake!
Ruin your cake! Most recipes will say to "let your cake cool and then mash it up." Since most of us aren't on The Real Housewives of DFW don't waste time letting it cool. This stuff is going to be ruined in a ball anyways. Just mash it up!
Put an entire tub of cream cheese icing in your cake. Next you mix it all together and roll pieces of the cake goo mixture in your hand. Make little balls about half an inch in size. I told my sister to take a picture of this. She clearly forgot, and I would fire her if she wasn't so easy to convince to help me. I swear I can bribe her with anything as simple as an old sock.
Make your icing candy coating! Just heat up your almond bark. I threw some food coloring in mine.
I made a little assembly line with sprinkles. Dip the cake balls into the coating and then sprinkle!
Place the cake balls on foil and put in the fridge for about 30 minutes!
Ta-da! Now you have magical cake goodies!
