  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 tablespoon cream cheese frosting

  • Mix well. Using a cookie scoop, or a small spoon, grab a small amount of the cake mix. Roll the cake mix between the palm of your hands to form a ball.
  • Place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, melt your baking chocolate in the microwave for 30-second intervals until completely melted.
  • Add in your green food coloring until the desired color. 
  • Remove your cake balls from the freezer. Dip each ball in your green chocolate.
