Description
How to make moist cake pops easily using ready-to-bake cake mix.
Ingredients
Scale
- Chocolate box cake mix
- 2 big spoonful of chocolate frosting
- Candy melts
- Your choice of toppings such as chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or crushed Oreos
Other Kitchen tools you will need:
- Large mixing bowl
- Fork
- Mini ice cream scoop
- Lined baking sheet
- Deep and narrow cup
- Cake pop sticks or lollipop sticks
- Styrofoam holder
Instructions
- Bake the cake according to the package instructions.
- Let it cool down for about 20 minutes after taking it out of the oven.
- Scoop the cake out and mash it with a fork in a large mixing bowl.
- Add in the frosting in small batches. Remember to use your hands at this point so you can assess the texture properly. You need the cake to still feel a little crumbly while also holding a shape well.
- Scoop out the cake mixture using the ice cream scoop.
- Roll the mixture into a ball and let it rest on a lined baking sheet. Repeat until you’ve rolled all the cake mixture into balls.
- Place the candy melts in a deep and narrow cup. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir between intervals to ensure you don’t burn the chocolate.
- Dip the tip of the cake pop sticks in melted chocolate and insert them in the middle of each ball.
- Place the cake pops onto the lined baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes.
- Reheat the melted chocolate.
- Take the frozen cake balls out of the freezer and dip them into the melted chocolate until fully covered. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
- Roll into your topping of choice before the chocolate hardens.
- Stick each cake pop into the styrofoam holder and let the chocolate harden completely.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
