FUNFETTI CAKE BALLS
1 baked 9x13" cake
1 to 1 1/2 c. vanilla
frosting, canned or make your
own
1 (1 lb.) package vanilla candy melts, any color
About 2 T. shortening
Rainbow sprinkles
Larger confetti/disc sprinkles for decorating
Directions
1. Crumble cake (or cupcakes) into a large bowl, working it into small crumbs. Add frosting and mix until well combined. Mix in rainbow sprinkles - I'm not sure how much I used; I just kept pouring them in and stirring until the mixture looked "confetti'ish."
2. Shape into approximately 1" balls, using about 1 T. of the cake mixture per ball; set aside on wax paper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or place in freezer for about 15 minutes.
3. In a small deep bowl, melt candy melts and shortening together in the microwave per candy melt package directions (typically in 30 second intervals, stirring in between).
4. Use a fork to dip each cake ball in the candy coating, letting excess coating drip off back into the bowl. Place on wax paper. Immediately sprinkle with a few large disc/confetti sprinkles (or additional rainbow sprinkles).
5. Let stand for coating to set up.
