As previously stated by other posters, there are lots and lots of recipes online.
I've also seen them made from vanilla (yellow)cake, spice cake and pumpkin cake (popular at Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc.)
Yes, I've heard of Chocolate Gobs and the Amish are famous for their version which is the one I use. These undoubtedly are the best to keep on hand for company, children or GC love them! They are out of this world no matter which state in our country you buy them in!!
