Sweet Chocolate Cherry Bombs – Cake Balls with Cherry Centers

Ingredients:
1 Devil’s Food Cake Mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tub White Frosting
48 Marschino Cherries with stems*
22 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
 
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare cake per directions. Cool cake completely. Crumble cooled cake into a large mixing bowl.  Add frosting and mix until well combined. Scoop mixture out by the tablespoonful.  Roll each scoop into a ball.

Drain maraschino cherries and pat dry. Press one cherry into the center of each cake ball.  Bring the cake mixture up and around the cherry.  Roll in between your two hands to form a nice ball.

Melt and temper semi-sweet chocolate, dip cake covered cherries in chocolate.  Set on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate if using tempered semi-sweet chocolate until set, about 10 minutes.  If using dark candy melts, place your cherry bombs in the freezer until set, about 5 minutes.  Bring to room temperature before serving.
