Cake Balls Recipe

Name: Cake Balls
Prep time: 40 min
Cook time: 75 min
Total time: 60 min
Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients: 1 classic vanilla cake; 0.25 tsp food coloring; 1 stick butter; 2 cups confectioners' sugar; 1.5 tbsp milk; 2.5 cups candy melts

These cake balls are a classic treat, combining moist cake crumbs with creamy buttercream, then coated in a crisp candy shell. It's a fun project, especially if you want to play with food coloring for a vibrant interior or exterior. The chilling step is key here; it helps the cake balls firm up so they hold their shape perfectly when dipped.
