Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Cake pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Fork or cake masher
  • Cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop
  • Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
  • Lollipop sticks

Ingredients
  

  • Boxed cake mix of your choice
  • Ingredients called for on the cake mix box typically eggs, oil, and water
  • Chocolate for dipping you can use any type of chocolate you prefer
  • Additional toppings such as sprinkles, crushed Oreos, graham crackers, or mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Prepare Cake Batter:

  • Preheat your oven to the temperature written on the cake mix box.
  • Grease and flour a 9"x13" baking pan.
  • Prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the box, combining it with eggs, oil, and water in a mixing bowl.
  • Beat the mixture until smooth, then pour it into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake according to the recommended time on the box, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Crumble Cake:

  • Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan for about 15 minutes after baking.
  • Transfer the cooled cake to a large mixing bowl.
  • Use your hands or a fork to crumble the cake into fine crumbs, ensuring there are no large chunks left.

Add Frosting and Mix:

  • Add frosting to the crumbled cake to act as a binder.
  • Start with a small amount of frosting and gradually add more until the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency.
  • Mix the crumbled cake and frosting together until fully combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.

Roll into Balls:

  • Take small portions of the cake mixture and roll them into balls using your hands.
  • Aim for balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, adjusting the size to your preference.
  • Place the formed cake balls on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.

Chill Cake Balls:

  • Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill the cake balls for at least 15-20 minutes to firm them up.

Melt Chocolate Or Vanilla Almond Bark:

  • While the cake balls are chilling, melt the vanilla almond bark (or chocolate of your choice) according to the package instructions.

Coat Cake Balls:

  • Take the cold cake balls out of the freezer.
  • Use a fork or a dipping tool to dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
  • Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated cake ball back onto the wax paper-lined baking sheet.

Add Toppings (Optional):

  • If desired, immediately sprinkle the coated cake balls with toppings such as sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut before the chocolate sets.

Set and Serve:

  • Let the coated cake balls sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating hardens completely.
  • Once hardened, your cake balls are ready to be served and enjoyed!
  • Keep any extra cake balls in a sealed container in the fridge for about a week.

Enjoy your homemade cake pops as a delightful treat for any occasion!
