PENN STATE CAKE BALLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Make cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Line large cookie sheet with waxed paper. Crumble cake into large bowl. Add frosting; mix well. Shape mixture into 42 (1 1/2-inch) balls; place on cookie sheet. Freeze about 1 hour or until firm. When firm, transfer to refrigerator.
• In 2-quart microwavable bowl, microwave blue candy melts uncovered on Medium (50%) 1 minute 30 seconds; stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 30-second increments until melted and smooth.
• Remove one-third of cake balls at a time from refrigerator. Place on second waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Using 2 forks, dip and roll 1 ball at a time in blue coating; gently shake off excess. Place on lined cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining cake balls. If melted candy melts have cooled too much, reheat as needed. Refrigerate coated cake balls 10 minutes.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave white candy melts uncovered on Medium (50%) 1 minute; stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 30-second increments until melted and smooth. Remove coated cake balls from refrigerator. Using a fork, drizzle melted white candy melts back and forth over balls.
