Create delectable candy-dipped cake balls using Betty Crocker® cake mix, frosting, and fruit snacks - perfect for wowing your guests!
Ingredients:
- 1 box Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Party Rainbow Chip Cake Mix
- Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
- 1 cup from 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting
- 1 cup Betty Crocker™ Decorating Decors multicolored candy sprinkles
- 5 pouches (0.9 oz each) Betty Crocker™ Fruit Gushers® fruit snacks, tropical flavors (from 5.4-oz box)
- 2 bags (16 oz each) white or dark cocoa candy melts or coating wafers
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Prepare the cake mix as instructed on the box for a 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil, and eggs. Allow the cake to cool completely before moving on.
- Prepare the cookie sheets with waxed paper. Break up the cake into a large bowl. Combine with frosting and 1/2 cup of sprinkles, mixing thoroughly. Form the mixture into 48 (1 1/4-inch) balls. Embed 1 fruit snack into each ball, ensuring it is fully covered. Lay the balls on the prepared cookie sheets. Put in the freezer until they are firm, then move to the refrigerator.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 bag of candy melts uncovered on Medium (50%) for 1 minute. Continue heating in 15-second intervals until fully melted, stirring until smooth. Take a few cake balls out of the refrigerator. Dip each cake ball into the melted candy, allowing excess to drip off. Transfer them onto parchment paper and promptly sprinkle some of the remaining 1/2 cup of sprinkles on top. Let them sit until the candy sets. Repeat the process with the remaining candy melts, cake balls, and sprinkles.
