HOW TO MAKE CAKE POPS

Prepare a boxed cake mix as directed on the box. Let the cake cool completely. Wash your hands. Crumble the cake into fine crumbs with your hands in a large bowl. Mix in about 1/3 cup of icing (I used store bought milk chocolate) with your hands. The mixture should be dense but not gooey.  Gooey cake balls gross me out.  Grab a cookie scoop (I used my 1.5 T scoop).  (Remember, everyone needs a cookie scoop, or 3.)  Scoop out the mixture, packing the cake mixture into the scoop as you scoop it (I smushed the open side of the cookie scoop against the inside of the bowl).  Smush the mixture in your hand to pack it tightly into a ball.  Roll it into a nicely shaped ball.  Roll the remaining mixture into balls (my cake mix made 18 cake balls)

Grab your Candy Melts (I purchased mine from JoAnn Fabric) and a small microwaveable dish (I used a small oatmeal bowl).  Put about 5 morsels into the bowl and melt them in the microwave.  Grab your cake pop sticks (I purchased mine from JoAnn Fabric).  Dip your stick into the melted Candy Melt and quickly stick it into a cake pop at least half way down.  Repeat with remaining cake pops.  Set pops on a cookie tray.  Freeze for about 15 minutes (they wouldn’t fit in my freezer so I put them in the fridge for 30 minutes– worked fine).  Put your Candy Melts into a microwaveable mug (I filled mine to the top).  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.  If using sprinkles, add immediately before coating sets.  Repeat for remaining pops.
