Description
Delightful Snowman Cake Pops, a fun and festive treat perfect for the holidays.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of cake mix (your favorite flavor)
- 1 can of frosting
- 1 ½ cups of melting chocolate or candy coating
- Lollipop sticks
- Edible decorations (like mini chocolate chips, icing, or candies for eyes and buttons)
- Sprinkles or nonpareils (optional)
- Styrofoam block or cake pop stand
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake in a standard 9×13 inch pan and let it cool completely.
- Crumble the Cake: Once cool, crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl until it resembles fine crumbs.
- Mix in Frosting: Gradually add the frosting to the cake crumbs. Start with half a can and mix well, ensuring the mixture is moist but not too sticky.
- Form Cake Balls: Use a cookie scoop or your hands to scoop out equal portions of the mixture. Roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the Cake Balls: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate or candy coating according to the package instructions. Stir until smooth.
- Dip Lollipop Sticks: Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted coating and insert it into the center of each cake ball.
- Coat the Cake Pops: Dip the cake ball into the melted coating, tapping off excess.
- Set the Pops: Insert the sticks into a Styrofoam block and let them set until the coating hardens, about 10-15 minutes.
- Decorate: Once set, use edible decorations to create faces and buttons on your snowmen.
- Enjoy: Serve to family and friends.
Notes
Keep your cake pops in an airtight container. They last about a week at room temperature or two weeks in the refrigerator.
