Make spooky Monster Cake Balls using Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix and Frosting, shaped into balls and decorated with colorful sprinkles and candy eyeballs. Perfect for Halloween parties!
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow 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 3/4 cups light blue candy melts (from 12-oz bag)
  • 1 3/4 cups orange candy melts (from 12-oz bag)
  • 1 3/4 cups white candy melts (from 12-oz bag)
  • Betty Crocker™ Dessert Decorations Candy Eyeballs, Betty Crocker™ Decorating Sprinkles and Sugars (assorted colors)
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Prepare and bake cake mix according to box instructions in a 13x9-inch pan. Allow to cool completely, approximately 1 hour.
  • Prepare a large cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. In a large bowl, crumble the cake and mix in the frosting thoroughly. Shape the mixture into 42 (1 1/2-inch) balls and place them on the cookie sheet. Freeze for about 1 hour until firm, then transfer to the refrigerator.
  • Place the blue candy melts in a 2-quart microwavable bowl and microwave on Medium (50%) for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Stir well. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the candy melts are completely melted and smooth.
  • Take out 14 of the cake balls from the refrigerator and transfer them to a fresh waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Using 2 forks, dip each cake ball into the melted candy coating, making sure to remove any excess. Put them back on the lined cookie sheet and promptly add candy eyeballs and sprinkles for decoration. If the candy coating has hardened, warm it up again. Chill the coated cake balls for 10 minutes.
  • Continue the process by melting, dipping, and decorating half of the cake balls with orange candy melts and then repeat with the remaining cake balls using white candy melts.
  • Refrigerate while covered.
