Cake Balls for the guys...

"My husband and I share work in the kitchen 50-50. I cook and he eats"

in box ready for the office

A few days ago I made cake balls for my husbands office.  They loved them and when my husband asked for the recipe I directed him to my blog.  Apparently, the recipe I have down is "too confusing for the guys to understand" as he puts it.  He said that he wanted it listed as "2 tablespoons of whatever".  So the post of this title is exactly what this specific blog post is about.  A cake ball recipe so easy the husbands could make it.  For you girls out there I suggest printing it out and leaving it laying around the house, oh so subtly, until you arrive home to wonderful cake balls ;-) but even if your husband won't make them it still is a great simple recipe to share.

Cake balls for the guys
Ingredients:
1 box of Betty Crocker yellow cake mix
1 1/4 cup of water
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 container of Duncan Hines Cream Cheese frosting
2 bags of chocolate chips (1 white, 1 semi sweet)

Heat oven to 350 degrees
Prepare cake mix, water, oil and eggs as directed on the back of the mix box
Cook until done
Remove from oven and allow to sit out uncovered for several hours (or even overnight)
*it is important to not cover it because you want the cake to dry out

One cake has dried out some break up the cake and place into a mixer
Turn the mixer on and mix until cake is all crumbs
Add 2/3 container of icing
Mix until combined well (it will have the consistency of cookie dough)
Scoop out small amounts and role into balls
Place the cake balls into the freezer for a few hours or overnight
When the cake balls are frozen and ready to be dipped melt one of the packages of chocolate
Dip half the cake balls in the chocolate
(the method I like to use is place the cake ball on a fork and spoon the chocolate over the cake ball, then tap the fork until the excess chocolate falls off)
Place cake balls on a greased cookie sheet
Place cake balls in refridgerator
Once half have been dipped set aside the remaining chocolate
In a different bowl (or double boiler) melt the other type of chocolate
Dip remaining cake balls in the other type of chocolate
Once all cake balls have been dipped in the appropriate chocolate drizzle the opposite chocolate cover on top just for appearance sake

You're finished, see guys it wasn't that difficult!
