Chocolate Cake Balls

Makes about 80 to 100 small balls

1 (18.25-ounce) box chocolate cake mix
1 (16-ounce) container chocolate frosting
1 (3-ounce) bar chocolate-flavored confectioners' coating

Prepare the cake mix according to package directions in any of the recommended pan sizes. When the cake is done, remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes.

Crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl and stir in the frosting until well blended. Cover and refrigerate.

Meanwhile, melt the chocolate coating in a glass bowl in the microwave or in a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth.

With a melon baller, scoop the cake and frosting mixture to form balls. Carefully dip the balls, using a wooden pick or fork, into the chocolate and coat evenly. Place on wax paper to set.
