Chocalte Cake bites

I was at the store the other day and saw one of those recipe to try. And I love them!


1box milk chocolate cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
3/4
cup chocolate or milk chocolate frosting
20
oz chocolate-flavored candy coating (from two 16-oz packages)
Assorted candy sprinkles

Heat oven to 350°F. Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
In large bowl, crumble cake. Add frosting; mix well. Roll into 1-inch balls; place on wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze about 45 minutes or until firm. Refrigerate to keep chilled.
In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave 8 oz of the candy coating uncovered on High 1 minute 30 seconds; stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 15-second increments until melted and smooth.
Remove one-third of the balls at a time from refrigerator. Using 2 forks, dip and roll 1 ball at a time in coating. Place on wax paper-lined cookie sheet; immediately decorate with sprinkles. Refrigerate cake balls about 10 minutes or until coating is set. Melt remaining candy coating in 6-oz batches; dip remaining balls. (Reheat coating in microwave if it is too thick to coat.) Serve at room temperature. Store in airtight container.
Makes 5 1/2 dozen cake bites

Side note:
I made half a cake mix, which will be in a later post 
Also My cake balls were not perfectly round. I used a cookie scoop for mine instead of rolling them
Its hard to get the balls to roll in the chocolate
