ingredients
Cake mix
1 box (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
Lard
1 can 455 g
Wax paper
As needed
Candies
455 g
Lollipop sticks
As needed
Edible ink pens
Preparation
- After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
- Mix thoroughly with 1 can frosting.
- (I use the back of a large spoon, but it may be easier to use fingers to mix together. But, be warned, it will get messy.
- Also, you may not need the entire can of frosting, so start out by using almost the entire can and add more if you need to).
- Roll mixture into quarter size balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet (should make 45-50).
- Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package (30 sec intervals, stirring in between).
- Dip the tip of your lollipop stick in a little of the melted candy coating and insert into the cake balls (Insert a little less than halfway).
- Place them in the freezer for a little while to firm up.
- Once firm, carefully insert the cake ball into the candy coating by holding the lollipop stick and rotating until covered.
- Once covered remove and softly tap and rotate until the excess chocolate falls off.
- Don’t tap too hard or the cake ball will fall off, too.
- Place in a styrofoam block to dry.
- Once dry, draw faces with an edible ink pen and allow ink to dry!
