directions

  • STIR milk and pudding mix in medium bowl with large spoon just until pudding mix is moistened. Immediately add bananas and cake crumbs; mix well.
  • TO PORTION CAKE BALLS Use cookie scoop to portion the cake mixture for each ball. Then, roll the cake balls between the palms of your hands to form smooth round balls.
  • SHAPE into 36 (1-inch) balls; place on waxed paper-covered rimmed baking sheet. Freeze 1 hour.
  • MELT chocolate in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 min., stirring after 1 minute
  • TO EASILY COAT THE CAKE BALLS Remove inner tines of disposable fork; set aside. Add cake balls, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use spoon or rubber scraper to evenly coat balls with chocolate. Remove balls with prepared fork.
  • If you are using lollipop or Popsicle stick, just skewer each pop before dipping.
  • Dip balls in chocolate; return to baking sheet. Top immediately with sprinkles or whatever you are using.
  • Let stand until coating is firm.

  1. I saw this recipe in a magazine and when I looked here found you'd already posted, so glad you did too. This is so easy and fun to make. I made it for my DGSs who are spending the weekend with me and they loved it. An added bonus is how simple it is to put together - the hardest part for me was trying to find a way to stand them up for a display. As it turned out no need, the boys just dug in. Thanks for posting a fun recipe

As I am in South Florida, I have many edible fruits and perennial veggies in my yard. So, I like to cook with them.
