Here’s a fun and easy recipe for Minty Chocolate Cake Bites that are perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients:
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix (or you can make your own from scratch for a 9×13 pan)
- 1 can (12.5 ounces) of organic chocolate frosting
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract
- Almond bark for coating
- Melted chocolate for drizzling
- Sprinkles for decorating
Instructions:
- Start by baking the chocolate cake as per the instructions on the box. A little tip: underbaking it slightly makes the next steps easier.
- Once the cake is ready, crumble it into a large mixing bowl.
- Now, it’s time to get your hands dirty! Mix the frosting and peppermint extract into the crumbled cake. Keep mixing until you get a smooth, cookie dough-like mixture.
- Next, stir in the chocolate chips. Put the mixture in the fridge for a bit to cool down, which will make it easier to handle.
- Once the mixture is cool, roll it into balls and put them in the freezer until they’re solid.
- While the balls are freezing, melt the almond bark.
- Take each frozen cake ball and roll it in the melted almond bark. Place them on wax paper or foil.
- Drizzle the balls with melted chocolate, sprinkle some decorations on top, and wait for them to set.
- Finally, store them in the fridge or freezer until Christmas!
Preparation time is about 15 minutes and cooking time is around 5 minutes. Enjoy this delicious, minty chocolate dessert!
