Description
Transform leftover cake into delightful cake pops with this simple recipe, perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
- 1 leftover dry cake (or 1 cake mix box)
- 1 can of icing
- 1 package of candy melts
- 1 package of candy sticks
- Sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- If using a cake mix, bake according to package instructions, then allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs.
- Combine the cake crumbs with the icing in a mixing bowl. Start with three-quarters of the can, mixing until you achieve a dough-like consistency. Adjust as needed to keep it formable yet not too sticky.
- Roll the mixture into uniform balls and place them on wax or parchment paper.
- Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for a few hours.
- Melt the candy melts in the microwave according to the package directions, stirring frequently.
- Dip the ends of the candy sticks into the melted candy melts before inserting them into the cake balls.
- Allow the candy coating to harden slightly on the cake balls.
- Dip each cake ball into the melted candy coating, letting excess chocolate drip off.
- If desired, add sprinkles before the coating dries completely.
- For round cake pops, place them in a cake pop stand to dry.
Notes
Use different flavors of icing and various colors of candy melts for a unique twist on your cake pops.
