I just made a batch of the cake balls using the recipe on this site. first let me say my family loved them. I had yellow cake and used hazelnut creamer and dipped them in chocolate. My question is: what does everyone else use to dip thier cake balls into with chocolate with. I used a toothpick and when I pulled the toothpick out, it left the top of the ball kind of messy. I then poured a little bit more chocolate on to the top.
any suggestions???
Thanks

I made more cake balls last night. This time I used amarotto coffee creamer in one batch, BC icing in another and shot raspberry filling in these. They were very good. Also I dipped these in white chocolate. However, I found that the white chocolate did not dip very well. It seemed a lot thicker.

I made some for the first time the other night. I dipped them in white chocolate... the cake was chocolate with choc filling, rum, and rice krispies. The white chocolate kept getting choc crumbs in it as I dipped them. How do you prevent this when using white chocolate? What did I do wrong? They tasted great and everyone loved them... they just didn't look too great.
Did you freeze them before dipping? I dip them while frozen and that seems to keep the curmbs down. I dip with a toothpick then stick the toothpick into a cooling rack over a sheet pan so the hole ends up on the bottom. You might try adding a bit of crisco to your white chocolate to thin it down a bit (just a small amount until you get the right consistancy). HTH
Same thing happens to me with white chocolate. I thought of pouring over a wire rack but the they stick to the wire rack when they are dry.
So now, whatever flavor I have for the white chocolate, I sprinkle something on top. Like, spice ball--I sprinkle some cinnamon. The walnut--I crunched walnuts and sprinkled on top. It helps some.

Thanks, I'll give it a try! Does anyone add paro-wax to their chocolate?
I tried the paro-wax once, just to see if it was better than the crisco. I honestly couldn't see the difference in the two, so I will stick with the Crisco.
