Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box Betty Crocker™ cake mix (any flavor)
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 container (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped frosting (any flavor)
1 bag (14 oz) candy melts (any flavor)
1 teaspoon shortening
Craft sticks (flat wooden sticks with round ends)
Betty Crocker™ assorted candy sprinkles
Block of white plastic foam

Steps:

  • Line several cookie sheets with waxed paper. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • With fingers, crumble cake into large bowl. Add frosting; mix well with fingers until dough forms. Shape into quarter-size balls; place on cookie sheets. Freeze about 15 minutes.
  • When ready to assemble, in small microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts uncovered as directed on bag. Stir in shortening until smooth and mixture runs off spoon.
  • Remove cake pop balls from freezer. Dip tip of each craft stick into melted candy, then halfway into 1 cake ball; place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
  • When all cake balls have sticks, gently swirl 1 cake ball in melted candy to coat well; allow candy to drip back into bowl. Dip ball into candy sprinkles to decorate; place in plastic foam to allow candy to harden. Repeat with remaining cake balls and melted candy.

I had a hard time getting the cake pops to stick to the lollipop sticks. I ended up using a little bit of melted chocolate to help them stay in place.

These cake pops are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still really good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter in the frosting. They turned out just as good as the original recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of cake pops, but these ones are really good. The cake is moist and the frosting is creamy and sweet.

I used a different type of frosting than the one in the recipe and the cake pops still turned out great. I'm sure they would be just as good with the original frosting, too.
