Christmas Cake Pops
Ingredients
- 1 box moist yellow cake mix (16 1/2 ounces)
- Water, vegetable oil, and eggs as called for on the cake mix box
- 5 tablespoons cream cheese frosting plus more, to taste
- 8 ounces white candy melts
- 8 ounces red candy melts
- 8 ounces green candy melts
- Vegetable oil as needed for melting chocolate
- Festive sprinkles for decorating
- Lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare cake mix per box instructions in a 9x13-inch pan. Bake for about 25 minutes or until thoroughly baked and let cool.
- Unmold the cake from the pan and, if desired, scrape off the outer edge. Crumble the cake in a large bowl and mix in cream cheese frosting until well combined. If the mixture is dry, add some more frosting until it comes together.
- Shape the mixture into 24 even balls using your hands or a cookie scoop. Insert a stick halfway into each ball and place on a baking sheet. Freeze for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Place each color of candy melts (white, red, and green) in microwave-safe bowls. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until melted. Avoid overheating. If too thick, add 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil to loosen.
- Dunk each cake pop into one color of melted candy, turning to ensure the coating covers evenly. Allow excess to drip off. Before the coating dries, sprinkle festive sprinkles over the top. Place the pops upright in a holder or in glasses to set.
- Once the candy coating has hardened, your Christmas cake pops are ready to serve. Enjoy these festive treats with family and friends!
