Cake Balls

For Valentine's Day, I wanted to make something sweet.  I chose to try out some cake balls.  They're super easy and really fun to decorate :)

What you'll need:
a box of chocolate cake mix (and whatever it says you need to make the cake)
a tub of chocolate frosting
a LOT of dark chocolate chips (probably two bags)
icing in a the color of your choice

Bake your cake according to the box instructions.
Once it's cooled, crumble it into fine crumbs.  Add the entire tub of frosting. (Yeah, that's right, the whole thing...)  Mix it together as best you can with a fork (or your hands...).

Roll into little balls.
Heat up your chocolate to 120 degrees in the microwave, and then let it cool to about 95 degrees. (This is called "tempering;" it makes the chocolate harden a little more cleanly.)
Dip the balls in the chocolate and then set them on wax paper to cool and harden.
Once dry, decorate!
