Steps:
- Bake cake mix according to instructions using just 2 tablespoons of butter. (Too much butter/oil will cause it took seep out of your cake balls later.)
- Allow cake to cool and break up cake using your hands.Tip: To make it easier and give you super smooth cake balls, puree cake in a food processor!Add cake crumbs to a large bowl along with your cream cheese icing and mix well. Your hands work best for this.
- Use a mini ice cream scoop to scoop cake into uniform size balls. Roll balls between the palms of your hands until smooth and round. Place cake balls on parchment paper on a flat baking sheet or dish and place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to harden.*Don't stack them without parchment paper or they will stick to each other.
- In the meantime, melt your chocolate/candy melts in the microwave in 30 second intervals mixing in between until thin and smooth. Use a mini crock pot if you have to make it easier. Now is when you want to add in your EZ Thin if using.*Make sure not to overheat or your chocolate will scorch!
- Using a toothpick, poke one ball and dip it into the chocolate so it is fully coated. Dip on an angle so the cake ball does not fall off the skewer.While holding the cake ball UPRIGHT, swirl and tap the toothpick gently against the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off for 10-20 seconds.Use another toothpick to help release the cake ball onto parchment paper and then use the toothpick to "patch up the hole" with a bit more chocolate.
- While your chocolate is still wet, add sprinkles. Repeat with remaining cake balls.
- Allow your cake balls about an hour to cool and then store in a sealed container for about a week.

PINEAPPLE CHRISTMAS BALLS
For some people, Christmas isn't all about snow covered hills and warm, cozy cottages in the countryside. For some people, Christmas is warm and sunny, and filled with tropical flavours, just like the flavours found in these Pineapple Christmas Balls!

Steps:
- Add the room temperature cream cheese to a large bowl. I like to use a mixer to beat the cream cheese. This will help to loosen it up and avoid any lumps of cream cheese in the finished product.
- Next, add in the pineapple, one cup of the coconut, the graham crumbs, and the packet of pineapple jello. Just toss the powder into the bowl with the other ingredients. You do not need to prepare the jello first.
- Mix the ingredients well until thoroughly combined.
- Place bowl in fridge for one hour.
- Once ready, portion mixture into tablespoons and roll into balls. Roll ball into remaining coconut.
- Place finished Pineapple Christmas Balls into a food-safe container. Keep refrigerated.

CHRISTMAS RUM BALLS(OR BOURBON BALLS)
These balls are so quick and easy to make. They make a nice addition to the baked goodies that you give as gifts. Make these about a week before you want to serve them as they mellow and the sharp strong alcohol taste blends in more with the other ingredients. Store in a tin with a tight lid. This year I couldn't find the Vanilla wafers so I used chocolate and I like them even more. To form the balls I use two teaspoons as the dough is quite moist. I store them in the freezer - they don't go hard and they are so good ice cold
