Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 40
Ingredients
  • 1 packages (16oz) Vanilla CANDIQUIK® Coating
  • 1 package Chocolate CANDIQUIK® Coating
  • 1 box cake mix (your choice of flavor, plus ingredients for cake mix)
  • ½ cup cake frosting
  • 40 Mini Peanut Butter Cup candies (I used dark chocolate Reese's™)
  • Assorted sprinkles
Instructions
  1. Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on box.
  2. Crumble cake into a large bowl. Mix thoroughly with frosting (it may be easier to use fingers to mix together).
  3. Chill for approximately 2 hours in the refrigerator (you can speed this up by placing in the freezer).
  4. Roll cake mixture into medium sized balls (so they fit perfectly on top of the p.b. cup) and place on a wax coated cookie sheet.
  5. Melt Vanilla and Chocolate CANDIQUIK according to package directions.
  6. Dab a small amount of CANDIQUIK on top of the peanut butter cup and press a cake ball on top, let set.
  7. Dip the top of the cake ball into the CANDIQUIK by holding the end of the p.b. cup. Slowly pull out and allow most of the excess CANDIQUIK to drip off; it's ok if a little melts down over the cup (gives it the melted look when dry); sprinkle.
Notes/Tips
TIP: If cake balls start to stick or get gooey when dipping, return the remaining cake balls to the freezer or refrigerator until firm.
