Instructions

Bake the Chocolate Cake: Prepare and bake the chocolate cake according to package instructions. Slightly underbake for a moist texture. Let it cool completely.
Make the Cake Mixture: Crumble the cooled cake into a bowl. Add frosting, peppermint extract, and mini chocolate chips. Mix until dough-like.
Chill and Shape: Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes. Roll into balls and freeze briefly.
Coat the Bites: Melt white almond bark, dip the cake bites, and place on a lined sheet.
Decorate: Drizzle with dark chocolate, add crushed peppermint or sprinkles, and let set.
Store: Once set, store the bites in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Cake bites can be made up to 1 week in advance and stored chilled.
Experiment with vanilla or cream cheese frosting for different flavors.
For easier coating, use toothpicks or forks to dip and tap off excess gently.
