Cake Pops
Ingredients
- 10 cups fine cake crumbs
- 1 cup frosting
- 30 treat sticks
- 1 1/4 lbs tempered melted chocolate
- Edible decorations, such as sprinkles and pearls, optional
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine crumbs and frosting. Stir until frosting is fully mixed in. The mixture will look like coarse crumbs and hold its shape when squeezed.
- Roll crumb mixture into tightly packed 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a parchment –paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until balls are firm, about 4 hours or overnight.
- Place one stick half way into each of the firm cake balls.
- Place melted chocolate into a tall, narrow container. Working with one pop at a time, dip cake ball portion into chocolate, making sure to cover entirely. Carefully shake off any excess chocolate. Place up-side down on parchment paper- lined baking sheet or into a styrofoam block. Decorate as desired with sprinkles before chocolate sets.
