Fourth of July Cake Pops
Ingredients:
- 1 cake mix + ingredients listed on the box
- Producers Milk
- Powdered Sugar
- Candy Melts
- 18 6 inch lollipop sticks
- Red, white & blue sprinkles
Instructions:
-
Prepare a boxed cake mix as directed on the box.
-
Let the cake cool.
- While the cake cools, make the icing. The thicker the icing the better the cake will stick together.
-
Crumble the cake into fine crumbs with your hands in a large bowl.
-
Mix in about 1/3 cup of icing with your hands.
-
Scoop out the mixture using a cookie scoop, packing the cake mixture into the scoop as you scoop it.
-
Smush the mixture in your hand to pack it tightly into a ball.
-
Roll it into a nicely shaped ball. (If the balls fall apart easily, you may need to add more frosting or you may need to thicken your icing)
-
Roll the remaining mixture into balls.
-
Put about 5 Candy Melt morsels into a microwaveable bowl and melt them in the microwave.
-
Dip your cake pop stick into the melted Candy Melt and quickly stick it into a cake pop at least halfway down.
-
Repeat with the remaining cake pops.
-
Set pops on a cookie tray.
-
Freeze for about 15 minutes.
-
Put Candy Melts into a microwaveable mug.
-
Melt the Candy Melts as directed on the package.
-
Dip the cake pop into the mug, evenly coating it.
-
Let the coating drip off.
-
Place cake pop on cookie sheet.
-
Add sprinkles immediately before coating sets.
-
Repeat for remaining pops.
