Now let’s get started!

Start by grabbing your materials.

Then prepare cake mix according to package directions.

Place batter in a 9″ x 13″ baking dish and bake according to the package directions.

Once the cake is baked, let cool slightly, and then crumble into a large bowl. Add 1/2 tub of frosting and mix until mixture starts to form a ball.

Shape dough into balls and set in the freezer to chill for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, start to melt the candy melts using a microwave or double boiler.

Dip cake balls into the candy melts to cover.

Then gently remove to a plate to cool. Once you’re done coating all of the cake balls, place in the refrigerator to firm up.

Now comes the fun part! Time to decorate your balls! Helpful hint: Use the black marker on every design, otherwise your drawing will look a little unfinished.

And there you have it! Some not so Schweddy Balls for your Dia de los Muertos party!
