--------------------
I am doing the same thing -- one recipe that I have made for several years and plan to make this year are Cake Mix cookies. So easy, so versatile and everybody loves them. A recipe I recently found that I plan to make are Cake balls. Like the cookies, the possibilities seem endless. Cake Mix Cookies 1 box cake mix, any flavor ? cup vegetable oil 2 eggs Mix all ingredients well. Add any type of chips or nuts that you prefer. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 8 - 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Some good combinations: Chocolate cake mix with chocolate chips and chopped nuts Chocolate cake mix with white chocolate chips and nuts Chocolate cake mix with peanut butter chips and chopped peanuts Vanilla cake mix with chocolate chips and chopped nuts Vanilla cake mix with white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts Spice cake mix with finely chopped apples Strawberry cake mix with white chocolate chips (this was an experiment that turned out to be everybody's favorite) Use your imagination -- the possibilities are endless ... and they turn out like designer cookies, which they basically are. Cake Balls "This recipe is very versatile and heavily addictive. You can mix and match cake and icing flavors as well as the chocolate coatings. If you want to go the extra mile, cake balls can be rolled in nuts, sprinkles, coconut, etc. or double dipped in white and dark chocolates. Chocolate confectioners' coating is also called Almond Bark in some stores." 1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix 1 (16 ounce) container prepared chocolate frosting 1 (3 ounce) bar chocolate flavored confectioners coating 1. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions using any of the recommended pan sizes. When cake is done, crumble while warm into a large bowl, and stir in the frosting until well blended. 2. Melt chocolate coating in a glass bowl in the microwave, or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. 3. Use a melon baller or small scoop to form balls of the chocolate cake mixture. Dip the balls in chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them. Place on waxed paper to set.
