Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 box of cake mix any flavor
  • 3 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 cup of frosting store-bought or homemade

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cake according to the package instructions until a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan for about 15 minutes.
  3. Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl using your hands.
  4. Add the frosting to the cake crumbs and mix thoroughly until well combined.
  5. Using your hands, roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 30 minutes.
  7. While the cake balls chill, melt the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between until smooth.
