My Grandma just turned 80 and I went to visit her over Thanksgiving. I knew we would have a ton of food around so I wanted to bake something unique, snackable and portable. I decided on cake pops! It was a perfect choice and they traveled well from Atlanta to North Carolina.
Here is the recipe
- Bake a box cake
- Crumble the baked cake with a spoon
- Add a half a can of frosting
- Mix cake and frosting until it forms a cookie dough consistency
- Form balls out of the mixture and place in fridge for 2-4 hours
Next...
- Melt dipping chocolate in microwave or double boiler
- Attach sticks to the cake balls
- Dip the cake pops into the hardening chocolate
- Sprinkle with sprinkles right away
- Let harden
Tips...
- The tricky part is the hardening chocolate- make sure it doesn't crystallize by heating chocolate for ONLY the directed time and stirring frequently
- Poke holes in the Styrofoam holder so the pops easily fit in
- Store in a cake pan to keep them fresh
