Cake Balls Recipe

We had these for desert at Thanksgiving to go along with our traditional apple and pumpkin pies.
This recipe made a three tier cake dish full of Cake Balls and believe me, they went like wildfire!
Since we had a birthday boy who loves Red Velvet Cake, I substituted it for the lemon flavor cake which I really like.  They went faster than the pies did.  Each one is about two bites worth of cake, and you can pick them up in your fingers because the almond bark coating sets up hard.  No sticky fingers.

 Cake Balls Recipe
1 jar cream cheese frosting
3 cake mixes any flavor ( my faves are lemon, carrot, pumpkin)
almond bark about 3 pkgs

make up each cake mix as directed on the box.
After cooling, Set out 3 bowls, one for each flavor.Crumble each  in a bowl and mix 1/3 jar of the frosting in each bowl..
Form each cake ball  into a ball ( I use my Table spoon measuring spoon) but you can use a cookie scoop.
once you get them all formed, melt the almond bark (make sure you add shorting to thin it)
cover each cake ball, and set on wax paper till set.

These are mouthwatering good!  These would make fantastic Christmas gifts.
