You can use any type of cake for this recipe. Our classic vanilla would be wonderful here. (You can bake it in two 8" pans instead of a cupcake pan.) But truthfully, we like starting with boxed mix. With the homemade buttercream, chocolate coating, and festive sprinkles, no one will notice or care.

Ingredients
Cooking spray
- 1
box cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box
- 3/4 cup
(1 1/2 sticks butter), softened
- 3 cups
powdered sugar
- 3 Tbsp.
heavy cream
- 1 tsp.
pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
- 2 cups
white chocolate chips
- 2 cups
semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9”-x-13” baking pan with cooking spray. Prepare cake mix according to box instructions and spread evenly into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool then break cake into small crumbs.
- Step 2In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter until smooth, then add sugar and beat until combined. Add cream, vanilla, and salt and mix until smooth. (Add more cream if frosting is too thick.)
- Step 3Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir cake crumbs into frosting, then form mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. Place on a prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour.
- Step 4In a deep-sided heatproof bowl, microwave white chocolate and 2 tablespoons coconut oil in 30 second intervals until melted. Repeat process with semisweet chocolate.
- Step 5Dip chilled cake balls into melted chocolate, shaking off excess chocolate. Immediately decorate with sprinkles and return to baking sheet. Refrigerate until hardened, 15 minutes.
