Cake Balls

What you need:
--1 (18.25 ounce) package cake mix
--1 (16 ounce) container prepared frosting
--1 package chocolate chips (white, dark or milk)

Directions:
Prepare the cake mix according to package directions using any of the recommended pan sizes. When cake is done, crumble while warm into a large bowl, and stir in the frosting until well blended. (I allow mine to cool to the touch at least.)
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. (I don't dip my balls I just drizzle the choc. over top of them)
