I was reading someone's blog and they were really talking up the butter pecan with cream cheese cakebites so I decided to try them myself
After you bake the cake as directed on the package, let it cool completely. Then crumble it up in small pieces in a large bowl. If you make a light colored cake mix and want it all one color then you need to cut off the edges before crumbling in bowl. Start out adding 3/4 can of frosting and check the texture - if it is too dry you can add some more frosting to the crumbled cake mixture.
Then take a cookie dough scoop and roll in to balls. Lay them out on a pan and put in the freezer. If you do not want to dip all of the cake balls at once then put the extra frozen cake bites in a ziploc bag for later - they freeze really well -I dipped half of these last week and finished them up tonight.
Melt a bag of chocolate or vanilla candy melts and you are ready to start dipping. This is my least favorite part - probably because I'm a perfectionist and it's hard to get them perfect. If you are going to sprinkle a topping on, you must do it fast because the coating dries very quickly so have it ready.
Here is the final product:
The recipe makes between 50-60 cake bites and it's a good thing because they will go fast!
