Devil’s Food Cake Balls

Thursday, October 22, 2009. Posted at 4:18 pm

As a trial run for a Halloween party, I decided to give cake balls another try. You may remember that the first/last time I tried them, I didn’t have candy coating and used regular chocolate which, of course, didn’t set like a candy coating would. They were good.. just very soft.

Anyway, this time I used almond bark coating and a little bit of vanilla flavored wafers.

I used a box mix for Devil’s Food and tinted the batter red for a red velvet appearance (I’m pretty sure I’m going for red velvet dipped in white for the Halloween ones). Baked, let cool and then crumbled it up with a fork.

I pulled a Kalen and got a little brave/creative and mixed some raspberry flavored hot cocoa mix into the melted chocolate. Dipped, let set and the “drizzled” (it was more like wagging the fork over them lol) the vanilla flavored melted wafers over.

They’re kind of a mess but they taste so good! The hint of raspberry makes them seem .. gourmet almost. Yeah, as long as you don’t look at them! lol (Ignore the white blob ones. I had extra white chocolate lol)
