Strawberry Champagne Cake Balls

Ingredients:

1 box strawberry cake mix

(Additional ingredients followed by cake mix box)

1 1/4 cup champagne

White cake frosting

12 oz. white chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Optional: gold sprinkles

Directions:

» Follow the instructions of the box cake mix, and add the champagne in with your wet ingredients as you mix.

» Once your cake is baked according to the box’s instructions, let it cool completely.

» Crumble the entire cake into a large bowl. To make things easier, use a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add frosting and mix until combined. Start with a quarter of the jar of frosting and see if that’s enough to hold the mixture together (keep adding 1 tablespoon until the mixture is no longer crumbly).

» Line a baking tray with wax paper. Form small balls of the cake mixture by rolling a rounded tablespoons worth between your palms and place them on the wax paper. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours.

» Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl by microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

» Remove the balls from the refrigerator, and dip each into the melted chocolate, using a fork to scoop them out. Transfer them back to the wax paper, then use a spoon to drizzle a little more chocolate on top to hide imperfections. Before chocolate covering hardens completely, top with gold sprinkles.

» Chill in the fridge until the chocolate is completely hardened before serving.
