**Ingredients:**
– 1 box of your favorite cake mix (flavor of your choice)
– 1 can of cream of coconut
– 1 package of white candy melts
– 2 cups of shredded coconut
– Lollipop sticks
– Sprinkles (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Bake the cake according to the instructions on the box. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
2. Crumble the cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor. Transfer the crumbs to a large bowl.
3. Add the can of cream of coconut to the cake crumbs. Mix well until the mixture holds together and can be easily shaped into balls.
4. Using your hands, roll the cake mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Insert a lollipop stick into each cake ball, about halfway through. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the cake balls to firm up.
6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts according to the package instructions. Dip each cake pop into the melted candy, swirling to coat evenly. Allow any excess candy to drip off.
7. While the candy coating is still wet, sprinkle shredded coconut over the cake pops, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
8. Place the cake pops back on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set. You can also add sprinkles for extra decoration at this stage if desired.
9. Allow the cake pops to fully set before serving. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.
