Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box. When cake is done allow to cool completely. Crumble the cake into a large bowl using a stand mixer or a hand mixer. Add the frosting and mix until combined. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight. Line a baking tray with wax or parchment paper. Using a scooper, if you have one, or just your hands, form 1 inch balls with the crumbled cake mix. Place on the baking tray. You should get about 36 balls depending on size. Once you have used all of the cake mixture, place the tray in the freezer for 1 hour. Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl of the microwave, stirring every 5-10 seconds until smooth. Remove the balls from the freezer. Using a toothpick, pick up the balls one at a time and dip in the chocolate. Use a second toothpick to slide the ball off the first toothpick onto the wax paper lined baking tray. Once you have covered all the balls in the chocolate place the tray in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating is set. If you want to decorate the balls with sprinkles of any kind (as I have done) you need to do this before putting them back in the fridge. However, if you want to drizzle other chocolate on the balls for decoration, do that after they come out.
