Time 2h30m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ cake mix (any flavor)
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy frosting (any non-chip, no-nut flavor)
Waxed paper
Cookie sheets
3 bags (12 oz each) white candy coating
Paper lollipop sticks
Orange candy-coated sunflower seeds
1 bag (12 oz) blue candy coating
White sanding sugar
Black edible pen
Blue mini candy-coated power mint candies
Pink confetti sprinkles
Black confetti sprinkles
Jumbo snowflake sprinkles
Toothpicks
Block of white plastic craft foam

Steps:

  • Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool completely; crumble into a large bowl.
  • With a large spoon, thoroughly mix cake and frosting.
  • Roll mixture into quarter-size cake balls, and place on a waxed paper-covered cookie sheet. Place cake balls in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up. You can then transfer them to the refrigerator to keep chilled and avoid freezing.
  • Place white candy coating in microwavable bowl so that the coating is at least three to four inches deep. Melt uncovered in the microwave in 30-second intervals on Low, stirring in between. Repeat until melted and smooth.
  • Remove a couple of cake balls from the refrigerator at a time. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted coating, and insert into a cake ball no more than halfway through. Dip and remove the cake pop in one motion without stirring. Make sure the entire cake ball is covered. If your coating is too thick, you can add a little vegetable oil to help thin it and make it easier to work with.
  • Remove and gently tap off any excess coating to fall off the pop and back into the bowl. Before the coating sets, gently press an orange candy-coated sunflower seed in position for a nose. Place in craft foam to dry.
  • You can get creative with placement of candy and sprinkles for fun expressions and details. Here are a few ideas.
  • For sock caps, dip white cake pops at an angle into melted blue candy coating and sprinkle with white sanding sugar while the coating is still wet. When dry, dot on more blue candy coating with a toothpick, and sprinkle with more sanding sugar. Use the toothpick to gently make indentions on the brim of the cap. Alternatively, you can use a toothpick to apply white candy coating for a white brim, and sprinkle with white sanding sugar.
  • You can draw on eyes and mouths with a black edible pen and use various sprinkles and add-ons to give your snowmen character. Dot on a small amount of coating to attach blue mini candy-coated power mint candies for earmuffs and pink confetti sprinkles for rosy cheeks. Coal eyes and mouths can also be achieved by using black confetti sprinkles. And jumbo snowflake sprinkles are like the icing on the cake pop for these snowmen. Use them to adorn their cute little hats. Let dry completely, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality white chocolate for the coating, as this will give your cake pops a smooth and even finish.
  • If you don't have a cake pop maker, you can use a spoon to drop the cake mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Just be sure to space them out so they don't touch each other.
  • To make sure your cake pops are fully coated, dip them in the melted chocolate twice. The first coat will help to seal in the cake crumbs, and the second coat will give them a smooth and even finish.
  • If you're having trouble getting the cake pops to stick to the lollipop sticks, try dipping the end of the stick in melted chocolate before inserting it into the cake pop.
  • To decorate your cake pops, you can use a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or edible glitter. Just be sure to add the toppings before the chocolate coating has hardened.

Conclusion:

Snowman cake pops are a fun and festive treat that are perfect for any winter occasion. They're easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways, making them a great option for parties or gifts. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give snowman cake pops a try!
