Roll up your sleeves, put on your apron, and get ready to make the most amazing cake balls you’ll ever taste. 

OK – I have to confess that I rarely wear an apron. I know I should and I have the stains to prove it, but I feel too constricted. I need to be able to move freely when I’m doing my favorite holiday activity – baking.

Every year around this time, the kids start calling and the conversation goes a little like this: “Hey, mom! Whatcha doing?  Blogging? (I can almost hear their eyes roll) When are you going to start holiday baking? You are baking this year, right?”

Holiday Baking

When have I not baked for the holidays? Christmas wouldn’t be the same without baking the family’s favorite goodies and believe me, the kids always let me know which ones they are expecting. You don’t mess with tradition during the holidays . . . unless you’re improving those traditions!

And that’s exactly what I did when I changed up my cookie ball recipe and created White Peppermint Funfetti® Cake Balls.  And let me insert right here and now that Funfetti® is my son-in-law’s and all four of my grandsons’ favorite cake flavor.

How to Make White Peppermint Funfetti Cake Balls

Let’s get started making some White Peppermint Funfetti® Cake Balls. They’ll be the hit of your family gatherings and all your holiday parties. I’ve already received tons of compliments and requests for the recipe.

Preheat oven to 350º. Combine the cake mix, 1/2 cup oil, 3 eggs, and 1 cup milk. Mix according to package directions.

Pour into a greased and floured 13 x 9-inch baking pan and bake for 34-38 minutes.

Once the cake has cooled completely on a wire rack, crumble and mix with 3/4 of the Funfetti® frosting.

 Scoop out small amounts of cake mixture and roll into 1″ balls.  Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and place in the fridge while you melt the chocolate.

Melt the Vanilla Candy Coating

Melt the vanilla candy coating according to package directions and dip half of the cake balls into the candy mixture, covering completely.

I use a fork underneath the cake balls to dip.  Immediately sprinkle with chopped M&M’s® Hot Chocolate & Milk Chocolate Candies.

Repeat with the remaining cake balls and the chocolate candy coating. Sprinkle with the chopped M&M’s® White Peppermint candies.  Let dry on the foil-lined baking sheet.

Do you know what makes the holiday season even more special for my family?  Being able to give back to families in our community that need a helping hand. We’ve always tried to teach our kids to live by the golden rule.

Feeding America Food Banks

More than 46.5 million Americans, including one in every six children, rely on Feeding America food banks each year. And milk is one of the most requested food items, but it’s also one of the least donated food items.  ‘ll be the first to confess that I have never thought about donating milk before. My thoughts tend toward canned goods and non-perishables.

Please join me as I join Feeding America in The Great American Milk Drive. This is the first national program to help deliver nutrient-rich gallons of milk to families who need it the most. You can visit milklife.com/give and see how your small donation can go a long way to help hungry families.
