These Chocolate Peppermint Cake Balls ooze everything I love about Christmas goodies. Dark yummy chocolate and the slight minty flavor that reminds you of candy canes. I remember back in the 1990’s when I first started making cakes balls , it was usually reserved for away to use left over cake. Then everyone started making them just because. Why? Because they are frickin delicious !! Gooey yummy cake drenched with frosting in the center rolled in a ball , then coated with chocolate . I have learned a lot of tricks along the way to make these so much easier than I did back then . One of the best things I have discovered is Bada Bing Bada Boom Gourmet Chocolate from Chocoley. This is the easiest chocolate I have ever worked with and the best for coating cake balls. It stays smooth and melted , I coated all the cake balls without having to reheat it. I’ll discuss more tips and tricks but if you love chocolate and peppermint check out a few other of my recipes. Peppermint Mocha mix and Double Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are both perfect for the season.

I have combined two of my loves in this Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookie, pumpkin and dark chocolate. A soft cake like pumpkin spiced cookie mixed with rich dark chocolate is just pure autumn Heaven. If you have read any of my previous post I am a bit of a chocolate snob and I tend to like higher quality chocolate . I usually like to use Ghiradelli Dark chocolate melting wafers . I rarely melt chocolate in the microwave for many reasons, mainly it ends in disaster for me. This dipping chocolate melts beautifully in the microwave. If you love fall cookies you have to try my Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies a try.
