Cupcake Bites

Now these are so much fun for birthdays!  Cupcake balls are back (I warned you) with just a little different spin and they are so cute!  Again- idea from Bakerella. For these cake balls I used the birthday girl's favorite cake- german chocolate with pecan coconut frosting. Use the same recipe as the cake balls- make cake, crumble it, mix in the frosting, roll into balls, freeze 1 hour and then....

You need a candy cup mold (just a cheap plastic one from Roberts works- PB cup mold)
colored candy melts
chocolate bark
sprinkles or whatever you want to decorate the top with

Melt the chocolate bark and spoon into the candy mold (just a little bit works- you'll get to know how much once you do a couple)
Press a cake ball into the center and let chocolate set up- stop pressing the cake ball once all the chocolate reaches the sides of the mold- (can put in freezer to speed up process and use molds faster)
While you are waiting- melt the colored candy melts
Remove the cake bites (they're easy to pop out)
Dip the cupcake upside down into the melted candy- you may have to dip it several times at different angles to cover the entire cupcake.
Decorate with sprinkles and let set up
Impress everyone with your baking skills!!
