These are very popular with my family for our Christmas gatherings. I have made them for about three years now and I have some tips: Buy more coating than the recipe asks for, the first couple of years I ran out well before all of the balls were coated. Serve them chilled, not at room temperature, this will ensure that they don't taste mushy or raw. Decorate soon after coating, or the chocolate will harden. These are very time consuming and can be quite messy (especially the dipping part), but they taste so dang good that I slog through it once a year. After trying a few flavors, I personally prefer yellow cake with cream cheese frosting, coated in milk chocolate.

Just as tasty as others have stated. They are easy but time consuming. I had to be quick with my decorating because the candy coating hardens very quickly. Will do these again for special occassions.
