DIRECTIONS

1.Prepare cake mix according to package instructions using water, oil and eggs. Bake in 13 x 9-inch baking pan according to package instructions. Cool completely.

3.Line a baking pan with wax paper. Roll cake mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place on prepared baking pan. Cover and freeze at least 1 hour.

4.Combine chocolate chips and shortening (or candy melts) in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minutes; stir. Microwave in additional 30 second intervals until completely melted and smooth when stirred.

5.Remove a few cake balls from freezer, keeping the rest frozen until ready to coat. Hold one cake ball over bowl of chocolate on a fork. Optional: Modify a plastic fork and remove the two inner prongs to allow for further dripping from the chocolate. Spoon white chocolate over cake ball, turning ball as needed until completely covered, and allowing excess to drip off. Place ball on a sheet of wax paper and allow chocolate coating to harden. Repeating for remaining cake balls. Place the remaining frosting into a piping bag and decorate the top of the cake balls as desired. Top with Valentine’s day sprinkles from frosting tub.
