Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bake chocolate cakes and allow them to cool completely.
  • While cakes are baking and cooling, prepare the frosting and energy balls.
  • Trim the domes of the cake and level them.
  • Place one cake on a serving dish.
  • Spread frosting on top smoothly.
  • Place the other cake on top of the icing.
  • Ice the entire cake in frosting.
  • Start sticking pretzel rods around your cake. The frosting acts like a glue and holds the pretzels in place.
  • Wrap a brown ribbon around the cake for extra security.
  • Next, arrange the energy balls on the top of the cake in somewhat of a dome shape. If you like, you can stick them to each other with some melted chocolate so that they don't move around.
  • Place some chocolate squares in between the energy balls. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Please note that the pretzels may become soggy.
