I want to attempt these and have a few questions for the experts - ever made them from italian cream cake? I have italian cream cake scraps and was thinking I would mix that with southern pecan liquid creamer, what do you think? Would you dip in chocolate or white chocolate? DO you use candy melts or bark or actual chocolate? Do any of you sell these and if so, how do you price them? TIA!
I use chocolate almond bark. I have been using melted chocolate chips but they don't go far and get pretty pricey.
I tried making these and they disastered!! How do you get the chocolate on them? Dipping them made my choclate sieze up. and poured icing doesn't get firm enough. What am I doing wrong?
I think your Italian Cream cake balls sound divine! 99% of the time I dip my cake balls in dark coating chocolate but when I dip them in white, I add a tiny bit of chocolate to tone down the stark whiteness. Especially if I'm going to roll the chocolate covered balls in toasted coconut. It looks much better against a soft off-white than against stark white.
I sell mine for $10/dozen.
thanks for all the help Diane! When you sell them, what size are they/what size scoop do you use? Sometimes white chocolate is so rich, maybe adding the chocolate will tone that down as well?

I use a scoop that holds approximately 2 teaspoons. There's no number on it. Here's a picture of some I made yesterday next to a box of cream cheese. It was the handiest thing I could find to illustrate the proportions.
I agree with you on the white chocolate. I think it's sickeningly sweet, but some people just go bonkers over it. Personal preference. What can ya do?
Casandra383....It may be that the cake balls are dissolving in the chocolate, therefore making it seize. First make sure that the "dough" is wet enough to form a good solid ball, without it crumbling. Also stick it in the fridge for about 10 minutes also helps it to firm up.
