Lola's Easter Cake Pops




Hello everyone,
It's me Loveable Lola. Today I have a delicious treat for you, Chocolate Easter Cake Pops! So hurry up and show your guardian this fun treat so they can help you make them! Remember when cooking it's very important to have adult supervision.

Ingredients: 
1 Box of Pilsbury Chocolate Cake Mix
1/2 of Pilsbury Chocolate Frosting container
2 Eggs
1 Cup of Water
1/2 of Oil 
Non stick spray
Various Color of Candy Melts
Decorative Sprinkles of your choice
Cake Pop Sticks (24 ct)

Directions: 
Mix the cake mix with eggs, water and oil. Once the batter is an even consistency pour into a non stick round cake pan. Be sure to coat it in some non stick spray. Bake for 30 Minutes or until center is fully cooked at 350 Degrees. Let the cake cool for an hour and then crumble it. Yes ! you heard me right, you are going to crumble your cake into super fine pieces. Make sure there are no clumps. 

Now once it is evenly crumbled mix in half the tub of chocolate frosting and mix with your hands. Grab tablespoon sized clumps and form into a circle like you would a meatball. (Should make 25-30 balls) Once rolled put on parchment lined tray and put in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

 Now pour half a cup of candy melts in a microwavable cup and heat for 30 seconds. Remove and stir, put back in for 20 seconds and now it should melt completely when stirring. Dip cake pop stick 1 inch into melted candy and then stick into chosen ball. Now you are ready to dip the chocolate pop into the candy give it a swirl and make sure it is evenly coated and quickly add your sprinkles before the candy dries. Continue with all the cake balls and then you can put them in a cup or a cute mason jar like me!
