Is there any better New Year’s Eve combination than cake mix and champagne? These cute pink treats are a fun and decorative addition to your party spread.

INGREDIENTS

1 (15.2-ounce) box strawberry cake mix

1¼ cups champagne

⅓ cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 (16-ounce) container white cake frosting

1½ pounds white chocolate morsels

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, champagne, oil, and eggs until smooth. Pour the batter into the baking dish. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.

3. Crumble the cake into a large bowl. Add the frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until evenly combined. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form small round balls by rolling a rounded tablespoon’s worth of mixture between your palms and place on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1 hour.

5. Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals. Remove the balls from the freezer and lightly drizzle with the melted chocolate. Return the balls to the baking tray to allow the chocolate to harden. Serve.
