*These ingredients may vary depending on the cake mix you chose. Be sure to prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the package.
Directions:
- Bake the cake according to the instructions on the packages and let cool completely.
- Use your hands to completely crumble the cake into a bowl as finely as possible and stir in the frosting. Chill cake mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Roll cake mixture into 1 ½ -inch egg-shaped balls and arrange on a baking sheet.
- Melt the chocolate candy melts in the microwave for about 20 seconds, or until completely melted. Dip cake balls in the melted chocolate. Decorate with sprinkles. Once cooled, decorate with decorating icing and enjoy!
