S'Mores cake balls recipe

These yummy little balls of goodness are one of the most popular variety of cake balls I offer in my shop. 

S'MORE CAKE BALLS

• chocolate cake mix and the ingredients needed to bake it (eggs, water and oil)
• 1/2 container chocolate frosting
• milk chocolate candy coating
• mini marshmallows, quartered
• graham cracker crumbs

Directions
Bake cake as directed. Allow to cool slightly before crumbling. Add frosting and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined. Cool completely. Using your hand or a scooper, make 1 inch balls. Add 2-3 pieces of marshmallow to each ball as you shape them. Once all of the cake mixture has been made into balls, melt the chocolate coating by microwaving it in 30 second intervals, stirring well after each 30 seconds, until almost nearly melted. Stir well to melt remaining chunks. Drop balls into melted chocolate, making sure to coat completely before gently scooping out with a fork. Tap fork on the side of bowl to shake off excess chocolate. Transfer to a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. While coating is still wet, liberally sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on each cake ball. Allow to set completely before serving or storing. Cake balls can be stored for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or a month in the freezer. Cake balls will become sticky as they thaw, so if you will be making this for a party, you will want to make them as close to your party date as possible.

Rocky Road is a popular ice cream flavor that mixes together chocolate ice cream, marshmallow and toasted almonds. Variations exist that include vanilla ice cream, chocolate chunks and different nuts, such as walnuts or pecans. These delightful candy clusters include all of the ingredients that make Rocky Road such a popular ice cream flavor. The best part? They are so easy to make! Children of most ages will have fun helping make these treats.

ROCKY ROAD CLUSTERS
Ingredients

• 2 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1/2 cup toasted almond slivers

Directions
Melt chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat until almost completely melted. Remove from heat and stir until completely smooth. Stir in marshmallows and almonds and stir to combine. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with waxed or parchment paper. Allow to cool completely before serving or storing.

Cook's Notes

• Chips can also be melted in the microwave. Place in a microwave safe bowl and nuke for 30 seconds, stir well then return to microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat this process until the chocolate is almost completely melted, then remove and stir until smooth.
• This is a very easy recipe to adapt to your personal taste. If you don't like semi-sweet chocolate, use another kind of chip. Can't eat almonds? Swap them out.
