Girls Night In

A couple of my cousins and my sister and I decide to have a girls night in. Life is full of too much stress and deadlines and it seems that there is never much time to have fun as you get older. You have to make time to enjoy life. A night of no children and no stress just the new Big Bang Theory board game and some appetizers was just what we needed. We made the menu virtually eggless and set a date.  I brought cake balls, fruit sushi and the fix ins for chocolate sundaes.  The cake balls are super easy to make you just take a box cake and substitute the eggs for ¼ cup of sour cream per egg. You can bake the cake in any pan you have. Once the cake cools a little you smash it all together into a ball that looks something like this.





 Then you pinch of a part of the cake, roll it to a ball the size is up to you and place it on a freezer or refrigerator safe plate. Repeat until you have the amount you want or the cake is gone. Place the balls in the fridge overnight if not needed to the next day or in the freezer for about 5 minutes to use the same day. Melt your favorite chocolate in a deep bowl and set up your work area. Use wax paper to set the finished product on to dry and a spoon to help you fish out the chocolate covered balls.Take the cake balls out of the fridge or freezer just before you start to dip them. Add glitz and glam to taste and store in the fridge.





 They taste wonderful and are super easy. The other thing I made was fruit sushi. I used a recipe I saw on the Food Network the only thing I did different was I glazed the top with fruit glaze to add a pretty shine to the product. We ate and had a great time together snd are already planning our next night in. :)
