Description
Delicious and fun cake pops that are perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 cup of frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- Candy melts or chocolate chips (for coating)
- Lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles (optional)
- Styrofoam block or cake pop stand (for drying)
Instructions
- Bake the cake according to package instructions. Allow it to cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl until there are no large chunks.
- Add the frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until well combined. The mixture should be moist but not overly sticky.
- Using your hands, form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) from the cake mixture and set them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Once all the balls are formed, place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the candy melts or chocolate chips according to package instructions.
- Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted candy melts, then insert it into the center of each cake ball.
- Once all sticks are inserted, dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
- If desired, sprinkle with toppings while the coating is still wet.
- Place the cake pops upright in a Styrofoam block or cake pop stand to dry completely.
Notes
- You can customize your cake pops with different flavors of cake and frosting.
- For a smoother finish, place the coated cake pops in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving.
