Ingredients:
- -1 box dark chocolate cake mix
- -3 eggs
- -1 cup milk
- -1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- 1. Mix together cake mix, eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Batter will be thick.

- 3. Crumble cake into small, even pieces, placing crumbs in a large bowl.
- 4. Add the following ingredients: 1 cup of chocolate ganache* room temperature and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
- 5. With the back of a spoon, mix together cake crumbles with added ingredients until a thick “dough” consistency forms, making it easy to shape into cake bites.
- 6. Shape cake bites, evenly sized and cool for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator, or 20 minutes in the freezer.
- 7. Dip into melted dark chocolate. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or drizzle with another chocolate.
