Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 box vanilla cake mix This is the base of our bliss, giving that classic flavor.
  • 1/2 cup frosting (vanilla or your choice) Adds a luscious creaminess; go for your favorite!
  • 1 cup melting candy (white chocolate or candy melts) Choose the best quality for that magical dip!
  • as desired sprinkles (optional) For a little color and crunch.
  • 12 lollipop sticks Essential for transforming these sweet bites into cake pops.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven and bake the vanilla cake mix according to the package instructions. Once baked, let the cake cool completely.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl using your hands until it becomes tiny bits.
  3. Add the frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until everything is combined, achieving a moist but moldable texture.
  4. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Insert a lollipop stick into each ball, ensuring it is secure, then place the pops in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
Dipping
  1. Melt the candy according to package instructions.
  2. Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted candy, fully coating them, then let the excess drip off.
  3. Sprinkle with colorful sprinkles if desired.
Setting
  1. Place the cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or a cake pop stand to harden.

Notes

Tips: Bake the cake a day in advance if short on time. If cake pops are crumbling, add more frosting. Try adding almond or coconut extract for flavor variations.
