**Chocolate Cake Pops Bakerella**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 box chocolate cake mix
– 1 cup chocolate frosting
– 1 package chocolate candy melts
– Lollipop sticks
– Sprinkles (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. **Bake the Cake:** Start by preparing the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. Once the cake is baked and cooled, crumble it into a large mixing bowl. You can use a fork or your hands to break the cake into fine crumbs.
2. **Mix in Frosting:** Add the chocolate frosting to the crumbled cake. Using a spoon or your hands, mix the frosting into the cake crumbs until well combined. The mixture should be moist enough to hold together when shaped into balls.
3. **Shape the Cake Balls:** Take small portions of the cake mixture and roll them into balls about the size of a golf ball. Place the shaped cake balls on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Insert a lollipop stick into each cake ball, making sure it goes about halfway through the ball. Refrigerate the cake balls for about 1 hour to firm up.
4. **Melt the Chocolate:** In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate candy melts according to the package instructions. Stir the melted chocolate until smooth and fully combined. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can become too thick.
5. **Dip the Cake Balls:** Remove the cake balls from the refrigerator. Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the dipped cake pop back on the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
6. **Add Sprinkles (Optional):** While the chocolate coating is still wet, you can sprinkle the cake pops with colorful sprinkles or other decorations to add a festive touch. This step is optional but adds a fun and decorative element to your cake pops.
7. **Let Them Set:** Once all the cake pops have been dipped and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate coating to set. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Once the chocolate has hardened, your cake pops are ready to enjoy!
