Cake Pops Duncan Hines
Ingredients:
– 1 box Duncan Hines cake mix (any flavor)
– 1 can Duncan Hines frosting (any flavor)
– 1 package candy melts (assorted colors for coating)
– Lollipop sticks
– Sprinkles, nuts, or other toppings for decoration (optional)
Instructions:
1. Bake the Cake: Prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the box. Once baked and cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add Frosting: Add about 3/4 of the can of Duncan Hines frosting to the cake crumbs. Mix thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be moist enough to hold together when rolled into balls.
3. Form Cake Balls: Take small portions of the cake mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
4. Insert Lollipop Sticks: Melt a small amount of candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip the end of a lollipop stick into the melted candy and insert it halfway into a cake ball. Repeat with the remaining cake balls. Let them set in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.
5. Melt Candy Coating: Place the candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls and melt them according to the package instructions. Stir well until smooth.
6. Dip Cake Pops: Dip each cake pop into the melted candy coating, swirling gently to coat it completely. Allow any excess coating to drip off. You can gently tap the stick on the edge of the bowl to remove the excess.
7. Decorate: While the candy coating is still wet, decorate the cake pops with sprinkles, nuts, or any other desired toppings. Place them back on the lined baking sheet to set.
8. Set and Serve: Allow the cake pops to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Once set, they are ready to be enjoyed!
