Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box box cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- Candy melts or chocolate chips for coating
- Lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles or edible decorations (optional)
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven as directed on the cake mix box, then bake the cake in a 9x13-inch pan.
- Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl until it resembles fine crumbs.
- Add the frosting to the crumbled cake, mixing until fully combined. The mixture should be moist yet moldable.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each ball on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Once all the balls are shaped, insert a lollipop stick into the center of each ball.
- Freeze the cake pops for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
Coating
- While the cake pops chill, melt your candy melts or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Remove the cake pops from the freezer. Dip each pop into the melted coating, allowing excess to drip off.
- Immediately add sprinkles or other decorations before the coating hardens.
- Stand the cake pops upright in a holder or styrofoam block to set.
Enjoy
- Once the coating is fully set, your cake pops are ready to enjoy!
Notes
You can use gluten-free cake mix for a gluten-free version or swap out frosting flavors to match your cake mix. Store your cake pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy them cold!
