Cake Bites

1 box cake mix (any flavor – chocolate, vanilla, strawberry)
1 can frosting – same flavor as cake mix
1 package of either chocolate candy coating or almond bark bars

1. Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
   
2. Once out of the oven, scoop cake out of pan and mix together with the can of frosting in a large bowl.
   
3. Make small balls out of the mixture and place onto wax paper in a plastic container or on a cookie sheet. Place balls into freezer overnight if possible, or at least 4 hours.
   
4. Melt candy coating in the microwave and dip balls into melted chocolate or almond bark. While coating is still wet, you can dip in toffee bits or nuts, or drizzle with opposite kind of melted chocolate.

Tip: This is a great way to use leftover cake, either from a bakery or homemade.

Kristen made these for an unofficial home group meeting of just the ladies, and they were incredibly decadent. We had these luscious cake balls and strawberries, and we sat out on the back porch and talked until it was scandalously late (for old married ladies whose husbands were home with the kids, anyway).
