Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pumpkin puree, oil, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cake cool completely in the pan before crumbling it into a large bowl.
- Add softened butter to the crumbled cake and mix well until a dough-like consistency is achieved. Add a tablespoon of milk or pumpkin puree at a time if too dry.
- Roll mixture into 1-inch balls. Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Insert a toothpick into each cake ball and dip into melted chocolate, coating completely. Add optional toppings immediately.
- Place coated cake balls on wax paper-lined baking sheet and let chocolate set completely (about 30 minutes). Remove toothpicks before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a homemade pumpkin spice cake recipe instead of a mix. Store leftover cake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
