### 👩🍳 **Instructions**
1. **Bake the cake:**
Prepare and bake the cake according to package directions. Let it cool completely.
2. **Crumble it up:**
In a large bowl, crumble the cooled cake until it resembles fine crumbs.
3. **Add frosting:**
Mix in frosting a spoonful at a time until the texture is soft and holds together when pressed (you may not need the full cup).
4. **Shape into balls:**
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 30–60 minutes in the fridge or 15 minutes in the freezer.
5. **Coat in chocolate:**
Melt candy melts or chocolate. Dip each cake ball into the melted coating using a fork or toothpick. Let excess drip off, then place on parchment paper.
6. **Decorate & set:**
Add sprinkles or toppings while still wet. Let them harden completely at room temperature or in the fridge.
