Ingredients
- Cake or brownie mix of your choice
- such as Red Velvet at Christmas, etc…
- 1 can frosting (only when using a cake mix)
- usually cream cheese or vanilla for Red Velvet cake mix
- 1 pack of lolly pop sticks
- 2 bags Wilton Candy Melts, any color
- Styrofoam for holding the cake pops while setting
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Bake cake/brownie mix according to directions on box, and allow it to fully cool on a rack.
- If using cake mix, in a large bowl, crumble cake and add 1/3 to 1/2 can of frosting and mix with your hands.
- Shape cake into balls, smaller than golf ball size.
- Place balls in the freezer until they harden.
- Melt the candy in the microwave.
- Using one lolly pop stick, poke a single hole in each ball, then remove the stick.
- Dip each stick in the melted candy, then insert into the hole you just made (this helps it stay on the cake when people hold it).
- Dip the cake ball in the melted candy and completely cover.
- Place the cake pops, stick down, into styrofoam to set.
- Before the candy hardens, decorate with sprinkles, or another melted candy color as desired.
- Cake pops will last longer if kept in refrigerator.
