Description
Easy bite-sized holiday treats made with vanilla cake, frosting, and festive sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box vanilla cake mix (e.g., Betty Crocker)
- ⅓ cup vanilla icing (e.g., Betty Crocker)
- ½ bag (12 oz) white candy melts
- ½ bag (12 oz) red candy melts
- Festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare cake batter as directed on the box. Mix cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large bowl.
- Pour batter into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish or two 8×8-inch round pans. Bake at 350°F until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cake cool completely, then crumble it with a fork. Stir in frosting, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until chilled.
- Roll mixture into ping pong-sized balls using a cookie scoop and hands. Place on a baking sheet and freeze until firm.
- Melt candy melts. Dip lollipop sticks into melted chocolate, then insert into frozen cake balls. Freeze again to solidify.
- Dip cake pops into melted chocolate or spoon chocolate over them. Decorate with sprinkles.
- Let harden upright in a styrofoam block or cardboard box.
Notes
- Chill the cake mixture before rolling for easier shaping.
- Use a double boiler or microwave to melt candy melts evenly.
