Cake Pops

Cake Pops

Ingredients:

• 1, 18 ounce package cake mix (any flavor you like)
• 1/2 of a 16 ounce container frosting (any flavor you like)
• 2, 14 - 16 ounce bags of candy melt (you may also use almond bark or chocolate morsels)
• lollipop sticks
• styrofoam or lollipop holder
• sprinkles for decorating (optional)

Directions

Bake cake according to package directions and let cool completely.

Crumble entire cake using a mixer, food processor or your hands.

Mix in half of the container of frosting.

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.

Using a small cookie scoop, scoop and roll mixture into 1 inch balls and place onto wax paper.

Depending on how large you make these, you should get about 50 cake pops.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Place candy melts in a microwave safe cup or bowl.

Melt in microwave in 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until it is melted. Be careful not to burn it.

Take a lollipop stick and dip the very end into the melted candy.

Insert the stick about half way into a cake ball.

Do this for each one.

Place cake pops back onto wax paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Re-melt your candy melts and dip each cake pop until completely coated.

Decorate with sprinkles (optional).

Stand each cake pop in styrofoam or lollipop holder.

Chill for 10 - 15 minutes to let the coating set.
