Cake Balls: Sweet Confection or Snack Food of the Lord of Darkness

Recently I read an article that the latest rage in Texas and some other state that supported George Bush, was for a dessert called "cake balls." Naturally, I was drawn to the article mainly because I figure if you have the, well, balls to call something by that name, it better be freakin' tasty. Although not much of a baker, I have set a goal to make these orbs and report back on their plusses and minuses on the blog. May God have mercy on my batter.
