- 1 box chocolate cake mix (or homemade chocolate cake)

- 1 cup water

- 12 oz candy melts (green, brown, or desired forest colors)

- Bake the chocolate cake according to package or recipe instructions. Allow it to cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
- Add chocolate frosting gradually and mix until the texture resembles moist dough.
- Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a lined baking sheet.

- Freeze the cake balls for 15–20 minutes to firm up.

- Dip each cake ball into the melted candy coating, gently tapping off excess.
- Decorate with sprinkles, edible glitter, or fondant forest-themed accents while the coating is still wet.
