Servings 40 cake balls

Bake and cool the cake of your choice. I used a chooclate cake mix to save time.
1 box chocolate cake mix (+ cake ingredients)

Once the cake has cooled, crumble it up in a large mixing bowl.
Next, add a container of frosting and mix well.

Chill the dough for 30 mins in the freezer, so that the cake doesn't stick to your hands in the next steps.

First, line a baking tray (or dinner plate) with parchment paper. (Make sure whatever you use fits in your freezer.)
Next, using a cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto the baking tray. Don't worry about forming the football shapes yet.
Once you've filled the tray, place the tray in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Next, shape the spheres into mini footballs.
Place the footballs onto a wire rack positioned on top of a baking tray.

Next, add the chocolate to the large bowl and melt according to the package instructions, or follow these guidelines:
Microwave on high for 45 seconds, then stir thoroughly.
Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly.
Continue microwaving in 15 to 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly, until all the chocolate has just about melted. (The remaining few pieces should melt on their own, and it’s a good way to ensure you don’t overheat the chocolate).
4 cups chocolate candy wafers
Fill the cookie scoop with melted chocolate and pour the chocolate onto the cake ball.
Repeat for remaining cake balls.

Once the chocolate has hardened, at the laces using the white cookie icing (or white chocolate).

Enjoy!
