Instructions

Bake the yellow cake mix as directed on the box and allow it to cool completely.
Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl until fine crumbs form.
Add the buttercream frosting and 1/2 cup of rainbow jimmies to the crumbs, mixing until a dough forms.
Roll the mixture into 1-tablespoon sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the tray in the freezer for 60 minutes to set the shape.
Melt the white chocolate disks in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
Use a fork to dip the frozen cake balls into the chocolate, tapping off any excess coating against the side of the bowl.
Drizzle with additional chocolate and top with extra sprinkles before the coating hardens.

Notes

Ensure the cake balls are thoroughly chilled before dipping to help the chocolate set quickly and maintain a round shape. If the melted chocolate feels too thick for dipping, a small teaspoon of coconut oil can be added to help it flow more easily for a professional finish.
