done it the way I did today w/ their KA?
first crumbled the cake using the wisk
then switched to the dough hook
added BC (i know -- boring -- but had a bunch left over, ok) little bit at a time until it all came together as a dough ball.
very smooth and velvety (except for the chocolate and caramel chips that is)
was very easy to control the consistency and get it just right.
(oh...and didn't rush the process -- it took about 15 min, mostly just letting the hook do it's thing -- it WAS necessary to assist at the start by scraping down the sides of the bowl)
EDITED TO ADD:
the focus of the comment was on:
the use of the DOUGH HOOK ---
not doing it in a KA
tried the paddle --- didn't like how it was coming together
so, thinking what we're after is a smooth dough like product I tried the dough hook --
and it worked really well.
Thanks! Much less messy than using my (clean) hands.

I'm glad I read this! I was just getting ready to make some but was planning to use my food processor (which I hate!) Now I'll be using the KA instead.
I've never made these before so I do have a couple of questions.
As the last poster asked, what is the consistency I'm aiming for? Should it just be a smooth comination of cake/binder? Dough like?
Also, I was thinking of using my cookie scoop (ice cream scoop thingy) to make the balls. This should work, right? I know it's about a perfect size mouthful of cookie dough, umm, not that I ever eat raw cookie dough or anything (If you believe that I have some stuff for sale! ![]()
)
Sigh, I guess if I don't hear anything helpful from all of you I will have to just taste test until I like it.
Work, work, work... ![]()

Fran, I used my cookie scoop and it worked great. They are just the right size! (The last time I made them they were way too big)
I used some yellow cake cupcakes that were too dry to eat and mixed them with blueberry cobbler creamer. They turned out so yummy!
Doug, Thank you for posting this. I used my KA and used the dough hook. I love the texture that they came out, I think it's just right.
