Ingredients
- 1 (16-oz.) package frozen pound cake, thawed
- ½ cup California walnuts, finely chopped
- ⅓ cup store bought vanilla frosting
- 1 package white chocolate vanilla melting wafers
- Additional chopped walnuts and assorted candy sprinkles
Preparation
- Carefully cut away the golden brown edges of the pound cake. Tear the cake into pieces and place in a large bowl.
- Add walnuts and frosting to the bowl and mix well with your hands until a smooth dough forms. Divide into 18 equal portions then roll each into a ball. Place cake balls on a paper towel lined baking sheet and top with another layer of paper towels. Cover with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- Melt white chocolate wafers according to package directions and line a small baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
- Using two toothpicks or bamboo skewers, insert the tip of one into the top of a cake ball. Turn to coat completely with melted chocolate then hold over the chocolate to let the excess drain off (If needed, use a small spoon to help coat completely).
- Place the cake ball on prepared baking sheet and use the second toothpick to remove the inserted toothpick. Immediately add a small amount of melted chocolate to the top to cover the hole and top with sprinkles and walnuts.
- Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
