Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box Betty Crocker™ cake mix (any flavor)
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 container (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped frosting (any flavor)
1 bag (14 oz) candy melts (any flavor)
1 teaspoon shortening
Craft sticks (flat wooden sticks with round ends)
Betty Crocker™ assorted candy sprinkles
Block of white plastic foam

Steps:

  • Line several cookie sheets with waxed paper. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • With fingers, crumble cake into large bowl. Add frosting; mix well with fingers until dough forms. Shape into quarter-size balls; place on cookie sheets. Freeze about 15 minutes.
  • When ready to assemble, in small microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts uncovered as directed on bag. Stir in shortening until smooth and mixture runs off spoon.
  • Remove cake pop balls from freezer. Dip tip of each craft stick into melted candy, then halfway into 1 cake ball; place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
  • When all cake balls have sticks, gently swirl 1 cake ball in melted candy to coat well; allow candy to drip back into bowl. Dip ball into candy sprinkles to decorate; place in plastic foam to allow candy to harden. Repeat with remaining cake balls and melted candy.
