Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor you like)
- Eggs, oil, and water (as per the cake mix instructions)
- 1 can of frosting (again, any flavor works wonderfully)
- Chocolate melting wafers or white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles for decorating
- Lollipop sticks
Instructions
- **Bake the Cake:** Preheat your oven and prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake the cake until it’s golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool thoroughly.
- **Crumble the Cake:** Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl until it resembles fine crumbs. This will be the base of your delicious cake pops!
- **Mix with Frosting:** Add half a can of frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix well until you can form the cake into balls. You can add more frosting if needed. You want the mixture to be moist but not overly wet.
- **Shape into Balls:** Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into balls, about 1 inch in size. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- **Chill the Cake Balls:** Pop the baking sheet in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the cake balls to firm up.
- **Melt the Chocolate:** While your cake balls are chilling, melt the chocolate wafers or chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir every 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
- **Dip the Sticks:** Take your lollipop sticks and dip the end into the melted chocolate. This helps to keep the sticks secured in the cake pops.
- **Assemble the Pops:** Insert the sticks into the chilled cake balls, then dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, covering it completely.
- **Decorate:** Before the chocolate sets, roll your cake pops in sprinkles to add that extra flair!
- **Let Set:** Place the decorated cake pops back on the parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.
Now that you have these adorable and delicious cake pops ready, they are bound to bring smiles to everyone’s faces. Enjoy making them, and don’t forget to share your creations with friends and family!
