Cake Truffles

I made cake pops today...(forgot to take a picture...sorry).  I made so many of the cake balls though that I needed to make something else.  So, here we go: cake balls (truffles?) coated in toffee bits.
Ingredients:
1 box cake mix (I did one that had "pudding in it"...Also, all ingredients needed for the cake)
1/2 tub frosting
1 package Almond Bark (its not almond chocolate...just a silly name for chocolate.)
1 pkg toffee pieces (baking aisle...)

Directions:
*Make the cake according to package...bake it and all.

*Take the cooked cake out of the oven and let it fully cool down.


*Once cool, get a large bowl and break the whole, entire cake into tiny crumbs.


*Add 1/2 the frosting tub into the cake pieces.  Mix well.  I used my hands, it worked better than using a spoon.


*You do NOT wan the cake batter to be sticky.  Just use enough frosting to hold the whole thing together.

*Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper.

*Roll the dough into bite-sized balls.

*Place all the balls onto the cookie sheet.

*Cover the cookie sheet with plastic wrap.  Put in the fridge for at least one hour.  I put mine in overnight.

*Once they are cooled, or the next morning, cut your almond bark into smaller chunks.

*Put all the pieces into a microwave safe bowl.

*Put bowl in microwave.  Heat for 20 seconds, then stir.  Then another 20 seconds, stir again.  Do this over and over until melted.

*Once melted, drop one ball at a time into the melted chocolate.  Remove the chocolate coated ball with a fork and place on your lined baking sheet again.

*Drizzle the toffee bits over the tops of the chocolate covered cake balls.  Make sure to do this quickly after removing from the bowl of melted chocolate because they dry pretty quickly!
