Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Cake from box mix, prepared per box instructions
  • 8 oz Cake Icing cream cheese variety is best
  • 1 bag Melting Chocolates
  • 1 package Candy Sprinkles

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. 24 Hours before you plan to make the cake pops, bake the cake per box instructions. Once baked, crumble and mix well with the cake icing. Refrigerate until ready to make the cake pops.
  2. Remove the cake mixture from the refrigerator when ready to make the cake pops. Using a small food scoop or cake pop mold, roll the cake pops into golf ball size pieces.
  3. Place a sucker stick in the bottom of each ball, sticking it about halfway through the ball. Set these aside.
  4. Melt the chocolates in a microwave-safe bowl on high temp, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted.
  5. At this point, you will want to put something down under where the cake pops will set up. The chocolate is drippy and sticks to surfaces. Wax paper, parchment paper, or newspaper underneath will work.
  6. Dip the cake pops into the melted chocolate to cover well. Sprinkle with the sprinkles of your choice and allow to cool.
  7. If you have the cake pop holder that holds each cake pop separately, then do that. If not, turn an egg carton upside down and poke the sucker sticks through the styrofoam to hold them till dried.
  8. Once dried, you will want to cover the cake pop with a cover like a cellophane bag or plastic sandwich bag, tying with a cute ribbon.

Notes

  • Refrigeration: Be sure to refrigerate the cake and icing mixture. This firms up the mixture and makes it easier to roll into balls.
  • Equal Sizing: Use a small scoop to dip out the icing to ensure equal-sized balls.
  • Stick Alternatives: If you don't have sucker sticks, you can improvise with BBQ skewers.
  • Melting Options: If you can't find the candy melts, instead use the quick melt chocolate!
  • Bon Bons: Don't want to use a stick? That's fine! These are the cutest little Easter Bon Bons without a stick!
