Chocolate Raspberry Cake Balls image

I really like the chocolate raspberry flavor combo. Adding it to this list of my favorite flavor combos and I came up with this cake ball recipe combo. It's great for gifts, Valentine's Day or any day. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Categories     Chocolate

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box super moist chocolate cake mix
1 16 oz. tub of chocolate frosting
2 lb semi sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate
1/2 c chambourd (raspberry liquor)
raspberry jam to taste
colored nonpareils for sprinkling

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare cake mix as instructed on box. Cool.
  • 2. When cooled, crumble cake into a bowl, and mix in just enough frosting so the mixture binds and is easily rolled by hand into balls (I usually use half the container of frosting).
  • 3. Add Raspberry liquor into frosting, stir well. Also add raspberry jam to your liking.
  • 4. Roll into bite-sized balls, and freeze for an hour or two -or overnight (optional, but highly recommended, as it helps them hold shape when dipping, especially when using toothpicks. I'd say don't use a toothpick if you skip the freezer step.)
  • 5. Lay cake balls across parchment paper.
  • 6. In a microwaveable bowl, melt the candy bark as directed on package
  • 7. Using a toothpick (cleaner results) or two forks, dip (or roll) balls in melted chocolate.
  • 8. If frozen, work quickly to decorate right after dipping or coating will harden. If not frozen, they will not harden immediately and you can dip them all before decorating.
  • 9. Once all coated, allow to harden. You may now package them however you like, such as: in goodie bags, in mini cupcake wrappers, etc!
  • 10. If making cake pops, place each ball on stick and then freeze so they would be easier to handle when dipping into chocolate.
