Title: Christmas Cake Pops Easy
Ingredients:
– 1 box of your favorite cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
– 1 cup of frosting (store-bought or homemade), any flavor you like
– 1 bag of white candy melts
– Red and green food coloring
– Sprinkles, edible glitter, or other decorations of your choice
– Lollipop sticks
– Styrofoam block or cake pop stand
Instructions:
1. Bake the cake according to the instructions on the box. Allow it to cool completely before moving on to the next step.
2. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl. You can use your hands or a fork to break up the cake into small pieces.
3. Add the frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until well combined. The mixture should be moist enough to hold its shape when rolled into balls.
4. Roll the cake mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Melt the white candy melts in the microwave according to the instructions on the package. Be careful not to overheat the candy melts.
6. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted candy and then insert it into a cake ball. Repeat this process for all the cake balls.
7. Place the cake pops in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the candy coating to harden around the stick.
8. Divide the remaining melted candy into two separate bowls. Add a few drops of red food coloring to one bowl and green food coloring to the other bowl. Mix until you reach your desired color.
9. One at a time, dip each cake pop into the colored candy melts, swirling to coat evenly. Allow any excess candy coating to drip off before placing the cake pop back on the baking sheet.
10. While the candy coating is still wet, decorate the cake pops with sprinkles, edible glitter, or other decorations of your choice.
11. Place the decorated cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to allow the candy coating to set completely.
12. Once the cake pops are fully dried and set, they are ready to be served and enjoyed!
