    I used the Tbsp. size measuring spoon , leveling it (like you would baking soda). By leveling it, its easier to sit on the cookie sheet after dipping. I made a yellow cake w/ strawberry frosting dipped in white ao

    Great recipe. They are extremely messy to make but worth it when done. I find the ones dipped in white chocolate to have a better contrasting taste than ones dipped in regular milk chocolate. Very strong recipe overall

    Made these with some cake that had gone wrong. Tasted gorgeous. Made the coating with dark chocolate and drizzled white chocolate over for decoration. This is an excellent way to use up left over cake. Thank you.

    Very good. Moist. I dipped mine in the pre package dipping chocolate that melts in the microwave. (only dipping half the ball) I also stuck a lollipop stick in them making it easier for my toddler to eat :)

    Very easy, kinda messy, but taste AMAZING!!! I dipped mine in white chocolate, then rolled some in coconut and some in crushed walnuts...Yummy!!!

    I would think it would be a bit rich I'll probably find a way to make them less sweet but other wise looks yummy!! :)

    Favorite treat to make! Takes a while, but so rewarding. Really fun to make variations of cake/icing mixes with chocolate or white chocolate drizzling.
