I made these for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I had leftover yellow cake, so I added the cocoa, powdered sugar, mini chocolate chips and used rum for the binding agent. They were fantastic. I had so many good comments on them, that I will probably make them again. My daughter wants to include them in her Christmas gifts. She always makes homemade cookies or candies for friends.

I also made some using French vanilla coffee creamer as the binding agent. These too were really delicious. This site is a bad influence! I'm finding way too many things to experiment with -- and, of course, when you experiment, you have to try them yourself before you give them to anyone else to try!

The cake balls are much like truffles. They are rich and delicious.

I did these the other day with peanut butter as the binding agent. They were delicious!! I added peanut butter and conf. sugar to my cake scraps until I had a nice ball of dough then made little bites and dipped in melted choc. Needless to say my platter was completely empty at the dessert supper I took them to.

I am salivating, just thinking of all the possibilities. These cake balls are so popular that I am selling them now. Very nice, especially for tea parties or finger dessert trays. thumbs_up.gif

I finally made some! I used hazel nut creamer and a drop of rum. And pecans and all the other ingredients and dipped them in white chocolate they were awesome! ( I did manage to get ONE b4 dh and kids finished em off) LOL...but I didn't get pics of them. Only thing I did wrong is I think next time i will make them smaller.

I made these on Friday for a Barbeque and everyone went NUTS over them! I had left over marble cake so I just added ameretto flavoured coffee creamer, a shot of Baileys, almonds the p.s. and then dipped them in the chocolate candy melts that I added almond flavouring to. Before they dried I sprinkled nuts on top. My husband decided to name the Crema Lovehandles!!! I thought it was histerical and that is probably how they will be advertised!

tcrema - I'm laughing at your husband's name for them.

When I make them, my girlfriends and I call them Chocolate Balls of Goodness!

Plus, we find that with that name, used often, the guys are a "little" less likely to eat as many of them. Tee hee hee. We're evil. But in a good way.

Yes indeed My DH is quite the comedian!!!! But now the name has stuck with the Chocolate Balls being called Lovehandles. I love the Chocolate Balls of Goodness! AND VERY SMART about keeping the guys away!
