Bon Bons

*Ingredients
1 boxed cake mix of any flavor
1 can of coordinating frosting
Dipping chocolate

*Directions
*Prepare cake mix according to directions (baking included).
*Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes and then crumble into a large bowl.
*Pour in the frosting and mix until all the cake is moist (I put the frosting in the microwave for a few seconds so it would pour and mix more evenly). Cool in the fridge for 10-20 minutes.
*Form the mixture into balls of desired size and put on wax paper. Freeze for about an hour.
* Melt desired chocolate and dip balls into it. (It took us a while to find a method that worked but we left the ball on the wax paper and would pour about a tablespoon of chocolate over top of the ball and spread it around with our spoon. It was a lot less messy!!)

Some of the flavor combinations we did:
Lemon Cake with Lemon Frosting dipped in White chocolate (YUMM! This was a favorite)
Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting dipped in Milk Chocolate or melted Mint chips.

We did't do this but thought it would be yummy to dip the chocolate cake balls in those reeces chips.... Yum! The combinations are endless!!

WORD TO THE WISE: we tried to dye our white chocolate red with my water based food coloring... NOT a good idea! You must use the paste form of food coloring or the chocolate will sieze up.
