Ingredients

Chocolate cake mix prepared according to package directions
3 tablespoon chocolate frosting
2 cups chocolate chips
5 large candy canes crushed

Instructions

Using a fork, crumble the entire cake.
Mix frosting and 2/3 of crushed candy canes into the crumbled cake (I use my hands) until dough is able to be formed into balls.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Chill for 1 hour.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Roll each truffle in melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
Add crushed candy canes quickly before chocolate hardens.
Chill before serving.

Notes

You can use chocolate bark broken into pieces instead of chocolate chips if desired.
