Zesty Carrot Cake Balls

I came up with this recipe to give as a gift for my friends. I was thinking of something easy to make and cute as well. As I was doing groceries I saw these cute orange colored mini kisses and made me think of the aroma of orange and the rest of the ingredients just popped to my mind.

Ingredients:
1    cup grated carrots
2    cups crumbled
      custard cake (I used those
       mini cakes from the
      groceries)
1    tbsp orange zest
1    tbsp orange juice
2    tbsp honey
2    cups mini white chocolate
       kisses (I used the orange
       mini kisses from the
       groceries but you can use
       any chocolate you wish to)

Procedure:

1. In a large bowl mix together the carrots custard cake and orange zest.


2. Add the juice from the orange mixing it thoroughly to each crumb.

3. Add the honey which will serve as binder to the cake mixture.


4. Form into small balls for about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. To avoid the cake from sticking to your hands, prepare a small bowl of water and dip your hands once in a while to it when forming the balls.

5. Prepare the melted  chocolate then deep each cake balls into it then place to a tray  with wax paper. 


6. Chill for half an hour. Enjoy!
