(To make cleaning easy, cover cookie sheet in wax paper.)  Put cheesecake balls in the freezer.</li> <li>After allowing the cheesecake to freeze a bit, start covering cheesecake with cake mixture.  The easiest way of doing this is to roll out cake mixture into a 2x2 or 3x3 inch squares.  Place cheesecake in the center and then cover with chocolate mix.  Roll around in hand to form a ball.  Place on cookie sheets.</li> <li>If you find the cake mix getting warm you can stick it back in the fridge to firm up a bit.</li> <li>Melt chocolate bars in 30 second increments until it is melted throughout.  If the chocolate is too thick you can melt in a little Crisco.</li> <li>Roll chocolate balls in melted chocolate and replace on the cookie sheets.  The easiest way to cover in melted chocolate is to use a fork to hold the ball and tap on the side of the bowl so excess will fall off.  </li> <li>Put them back in the fridge.  These balls need to be refrigerated because of the cheesecake inside.  This recipe makes 4 dozen cake balls.  But they disappear fast.</li> </ol><p>Give it a try and enjoy!!!</p>http://thedemiseofcouth.tumblr.com/post/9545825844http://thedemiseofcouth.tumblr.com/post/9545825844Mon, 29 Aug 2011 09:31:05 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq1vog9vSv1qj6afpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thedemiseofcouth.tumblr.com/post/9128123533http://thedemiseofcouth.tumblr.com/post/9128123533Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:32:06 -0500
