What you need - Makes about 45 pops
1 box of your favorite cake mix, and the other things mentioned on the box to bake the cake.
8 oz of ready frosting or
1/2 cup confectioners sugar, 1 Tbsp warm milk and 1/4 cup butter/cream cheese
Lollipop sticks
Sheet of waxed paper.
Styrofoam bed or thermacol sheet
Bake the cake as the instructions say on the box. Cool it completely. You can just leave it in the baked pan. Crumble it with your bare hands (better still, give this to your little kids, they will enjoy it!) until it is in fine crumbs. Add in half of the ready frosting, you may add all of it if you like.
Now melt a handful of candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until the liquid is warm and smooth, or use a double boiler in a hot water bath.
Dip one end of the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate/candy and insert it into the rolled balls, just halfway, do this to all the cake balls and freeze them for an hour or two until they harden.
Cover a baking sheet with wax paper. I forgot to get the paper and Styrofoam from the store, and had to improvise.
Dip each ball into the chocolate until covered. You may decorate it with any other toppings if you like.
Stand them up by sticking them into a Styrofoam bed, if you don’t have it, place it heads down on a plate. Freeze just until the chocolate sets. Enjoy!
