Ingredients
  

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix prepare as directed and cool
  • ½ cup cookie butter suggested: Biscoff or Speculoos
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk adjust as needed
  • white candy coating about 2 cups or one package
  • brown/chocolate candy coating about 1/4 cup
  • 2 cookies Biscoff or similar, crushed

Instructions
 

  • Break apart the cooled cake into a large bowl, ensuring there are no large chunks. An electric hand mixer can speed up this process significantly.
  • Prepare the frosting by blending the cookie butter and butter in a stand mixer or using a hand mixer.
  • Incorporate the vanilla extract and then on low speed, gradually mix in the powdered sugar. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
  • Mix about half of the frosting into the crumbled cake initially, then continue adding little by little until the mix is malleable and holds together in ball form.
  • Shape the mixture into ping-pong-sized balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Freeze the cake balls for at least two hours to harden.
  • Melt the white candy coating as per the package's instructions. Add a bit of coconut oil if it seems too thick.
  • Dip each hardened cake ball into the melted candy coating with a fork, letting excess drip off before placing them back on the parchment.
  • Decorate the balls quickly with a drizzle of melted chocolate candy coating and a sprinkle of crushed cookies while the coating is still wet.
  • Let set completely at room temperature or chill them to firm up faster.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure each cake ball is uniformly sized.
  • If the candy coating thickens, thin it with a little coconut or vegetable oil for easier dipping.
  • Embellish with themed sprinkles or vary the colors of the candy coatings for different occasions.
  • These cake balls are perfect for using up any leftover cake and can be made ahead of time.
