*CAKE POPS*


*CAKE POPS*

WHAT U WILL NEED:

1 (14.25 OZ) BOX CAKE MIX, ANY FLAVOR
1(16 OZ) TUB OF FROSTING, ANY FLAVOR
1(24 OZ) PACKAGE OF ALMOND BARK OR CANDY COATING
SPRINKLES, LOLLIPOP STICKS OR SKEWERS (LIKE I USED), 3” X 4” CELLO BAGS, RIBBON OR TWISTY TIES (BREAD TIES), STYROFOAM BLOCK

Nevaeh helped bake the cake. 



Bake cake as directed on the box.



While cake is baking I cut up the skewer sticks to lollipop size. 


Once its cooled, crumble the cake in a large bowl,


and stir in half the frosting container.
 I used homemade cream cheese frosting I had leftover.


Mix with your hand till its thoroughly combined and thick like a truffle center.
Mix in more frosting if needed.



Bout like this.


I used a tablespoon to make sure i had even balls. 


Roll mixture into 1 inch balls. Place in a container or cookie sheet lined with wax paper.  Pop in the fridge for an hour or overnight. 


While the cake balls are in the fridge I chopped up my almond bark.


Like this.


Microwaved as directed on package. Till it looks like this. Dip the tip of stick in the chocolate.


Insert it into the ball halfway. 


Do them all. 


Carefully dip the balls in the chocolate and rotate till coated.


Then gently tap the excess off.
.  If you do it too hard the ball will fall off.  Immediately cover with sprinkles before the chocolate has a chance to set. Then insert in the Styrofoam block to harden.


I did different color sprinkles and....


chocolate sprinkles.
ENJOY!
