Mix together cake mix, puree, oil, egg, coffee, and 1/3 cup cinnamon chips in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Bake according to directions on package. Let cool enough to handle after baking.

Crumble prepared cake in a large bowl. Add in cream cheese. With your hands (I promise this is the easiest way to do this), knead together the prepared cake and cream cheese until well-blended.

Using your hands, roll cake mixture into 1″ balls. Place balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment/wax paper. Cool in refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours…I did this overnight.

Once cake balls are cooled, prepare coating. Mix together almond bark, butter, coffee extract, and half of the remaining cinnamon chips. Microwave this mixture in 30 second increments, until melted and smooth. Mix in remaining cinnamon chips to temper this mixture (this will make your final coating shiny and hard).

Roll cake balls, a few at a time, in the coating mixture with a fork. Hold coated cake balls over the mixture and shake off excess coating. Place coated cake balls on parchment/wax lined cookie sheet.

Cool in the fridge for 30 minutes or so, or until coating has set. Serve immediately (we tried these a few days after I made them, and they just weren't as good. I'd recommend eating them fresh!)
