1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ vanilla cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
3/4 cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (from 1-lb container)
28 maraschino cherries, stems removed
1 package (16 oz) chocolate-flavored candy coating, chopped
28 paper lollipop sticks
1 large block white plastic foam
2 tablespoons Betty Crocker™ Decorating Decors red sugar crystals

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs. Cool completely.
  • Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. Crumble cake into large bowl. Add frosting; mix well. Shape into 28 (1 1/2-inch) balls, placing cherry in center of each and covering cherry completely. Place on cookie sheet. Freeze until firm. When cake balls are firm, transfer to refrigerator.
  • In medium microwavable bowl, microwave candy coating on Medium (50%) 1 minute, then in 15-second increments, until melted; stir until smooth. Remove several cake balls from refrigerator at a time. Dip tip of 1 lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into melted candy and insert stick into 1 cake ball no more than halfway. Dip each cake ball into melted candy to cover; tap off excess. Poke opposite end of stick into foam block. Sprinkle cake ball with sugar crystals. Let stand until set.
