Cake Pops

Ingredients:

1 box of cake mix of choice (I used German Chocolate)

1 frosting of choice (I used plain chocolate)

A bag of lolli pop sticks* (at least 50)

2 bags of candy melts of choice*( I used Coco Mint)

* You can get these at any craft store near the cake decorating stuff.

Directions:

1. Bake cake as directed on box. Let cool but only until it is a cool/warm.

2. Crumble cake in to a LARGE mixing bowl, add whole case of frosting, and mix with a blender.

3. With a cookie scoop, scoop out on to cookie sheet. Don't worry they are not suppose to be balls yet. Place in freezer for 20 minutes.

4. Take out of freezer and roll each scoop into a ball with hands. Push a lolli pop stick all the way through each ball. Place in freezer for at least 1 hour.

5. Right before you pull the balls out of the freezer, melt the chocolate. The chocolate will need to stay melted for a long period of time so the best way is to use a fondue pot. {If you don't have one you can get a large and small saucepan. Fill large pot a little under half way with water. Place the small pot in the large pot and turn on a medium flame. Put the melts into the small pan and the will stay melted until your done!!}

6. Take pops out of the freezer. Dip into chocolate, hold it over pot to let excess chocolate drip off. Place pop on to wax paper to dry. {I held mine until they were almost dry and then placed in freezer on wax paper to finish cooling so that it wouldn't drip and create a flat top to the pop. This took ALOT of time}

7. ENJOY!!!

I wanted mine to taste like a thin mint and that is why I chose the coco mint melts. You can choose any kind of combination of cake mix, frosting, and candy melts.

I made little bouquets out of the pops for mother's day...

I bought the little wrappers at Michael's as well as the pail. I placed a foam block into the pail and stuck them right in!!
