Holiday cake bon bons

Ingredients:
  • 1 box Cake Mix, (any flavour)
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1 container  Frosting (any flavour)
  • 6 3/4 cups (1.675 L) white or light or dark chocolate moulding wafers (about 36 oz/1 kg)
  • Sprinkles or candy decorations (optional)

Preparation:

              Heat oven to 350ºF (325ºF for dark or nonstick pan). Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 15 minutes.
             In a large bowl, crumble warm cake; stir in frosting until well blended. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until firm enough to shape.
            Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Shape into balls. (If mixture is too sticky, refrigerate until firm enough to shape.) Freeze 30 minutes.
Line another cookie sheet with foil. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave 2 1/4 cups chocolate moulding wafers uncovered on High 1 minute 30 seconds; stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth. Remove one-third of the balls from the freezer.            Using 2 forks, dip and roll each ball in melted chocolate. Place on foil-covered cookie sheet. Decorate as desired.                     Refrigerate cake balls about 10 minutes or until coating is set. Melt remaining candy coating in 2 1/4 cup batches; dip remaining balls. Serve at room temperature. Store in airtight container.
