UPDATE:  Now available at Uka Market in downtown Milford, Michigan!!

When you have nine nieces and nephews like I do, these are golden.  I can’t wait to treat my sweet angels with these next time I see them.  They’re delicious, and surprisingly easy to make! I tweaked this recipe from Divas Can Cook - she's awesome!

 

 

INGREDIENTS

Chocolate cake from Betty Crocker, follow instructions on box and let cool
4 Tbsp Betty Crocker chocolate frosting
4 boxes Baker’s white chocolate, melted
Wilton cake pop sticks
Sprinkles of your choosing

 

DIRECTIONS

  • Repeat until all the cake mixture has been rolled into balls.
  • Melt 2-4 ounces of white chocolate in the microwave.
  • Dip the tip of the cake pop sticks into the white chocolate and insert into the cake balls about half-way.
  • Freeze for about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile prepare all of your decorating supplies.
  • Melt the remaining chocolate in a large cup. Make sure you have enough chocolate to completely submerge the cake ball.
  • Remove cake balls from freezer.
  • Dip cake balls carefully into the chocolate until covered.
  • Let the excess chocolate drip off. Swirl and tap gently if needed.
  • Add the sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. It will harden quickly.
  • Stick the decorated cake pop into a styrofoam block to finish setting.
  • Place into the freezer to speed up setting time.
  • Add cake to a large bowl.
  • Crumble until it resembles fine crumb.
  • Add in frosting a little bit at a time until cake is moist and can hold a ball shape, yet still slightly crumbly.
  • Use your hands to incorporate the frosting into the cake crumbs.
  • Use a mini ice cream scoop and scoop out two balls of cake mixture.
  • Roll the mixture into a tight ball and place on a plate.
