This is a fun, team building activity that encourages children to work together.

Ingredients:

- 1 (16 ounce) container prepared chocolate frosting
- 1 (3 ounce) bar chocolate flavored confectioners coating or almond bark
Directions:
- Prepare the cake mix according to package directions using any of the recommended pan sizes. When cake is done, let cool down about 3 hours. Then crumble into a large bowl, and stir in the frosting until well blended. (Using a kitchen aid or hand mixer is faster and easier!)
- Melt chocolate coating in a glass bowl in the microwave, or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- Use a melon baller or small scoop to form balls of the chocolate cake mixture. Dip the balls in chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them. Place on waxed paper to set. While wet-remember to sprinkle with sprinkles.
