Holiday Baking part 2

That post was getting too lengthy.

Cake Balls
Ingredients
1 box of cake mix
1 can of frosting
1 package of almond bark
*+ ingredients on back of cake box (usually vegetable oil, water, and eggs which I've found can be substituted with apple sauce, milk, and eggbeaters respectively-er..i think)
*+optional toppings

Method
Bake cake mix as directed.
When you pull it out of the oven, smoosh it up with a fork while it's still hot and mix in the can of frosting while it's still warm.
Roll into balls (I wear powder free doctor gloves for this step!) and place on aluminum foil to cool
By the time they're all balled up, they'll be good to go into a container and into the freezer.
Freeze for at least a few hours (I froze for 2 days because I wasn't ready to finish them yet)
Then, dip each ball in melted almond bark and coat with a topping of your choice if you'd like.
Tips
-The cake mix, frosting, and almond bark flavor is totally up to you and the posibilities are endless. This is definitely a use your imagination recipe. Here are some of the one's I've heard of and/or made:
Red Velvet Cake, Cream Cheese Frosting, White bark, and drizzles of red chocolate.
Devil's Food Cake, Chocolate Fudge Frosting, Chocolate bark, drizzles of white chocolate.
Coconut Cake, white frosting, white bark, toasted coconut topping
Also, mint chocolate chip, german chocolate, carrot cake, strawberry, funfetti, etc etc
-Optional Toppings are also endless: toasted coconut, crushed nuts, drizzles of melted chocolate, cocoa powder, etc.
-A little shortening thins almond bark for easier dipping
-Use powder free doctor gloves for rolling the balls
-Smoosh up the mixture while it's warm or you'll get clumps that won't stay in balls.
-You could use your own cake and frosting recipes but this recipe calls for so much work already that I wouldn't go that far unless I were going to sell them.
