Ok here are some quick & easy dessert balls you can make with no heat source at all.
Here is what you will need...
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick butter (salted or unsalted - whatever you have handy)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup cake mix (I used yellow for these ones)
Whatever coating you want to put on them
For ones like this you will need...
1 Lb. chocolate
4 Tbsp cake mix
Nonpareils
Let your stick of butter out to soften before you need it (trust me on this)
Add the butter & sugar to a mixing bowl.
Mix together well.
Add the flour & mix it in well.
Add the cake mix, vanilla & salt. Mix well.
When you're done it will probably be a little dry like this...
If that's the case add a little milk & mix it in. I start with 1/4 cup & if I need more I add 1 Tbsp at a time...
You want to end up with a consistency like this where if you squeeze it in your hand it will compress & retain that shape...
Roll it up into little balls & put them on wax paper. I ended up with 20 balls but ate one so there are 19 left
Put them in the freezer or fridge to firm up while you get the coating ready.
Next phase is the coating...
