Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 24 Cake Pops

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Chocolate Cake Mix - I used Pillsbury
  • 1 can of Chocolate Frosting
  • 1 bag of Wilton Chocolate Candy Melts
  • ½ teaspoon of Crisco Shortening
  • White Nonpareils - to sprinkle on top
  • White candy sticks

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Cake Mix according to the directions on the back of the box. 
  • Grease a 9 X 13 dish, and pour the Cake Batter into the dish. 
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees, for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 
  • Remove the dish from the oven, and set on a wire rack to cool. 
  • When the Cake is Completely Cool, use a fork and break up the cake into small crumbs, scraping the bottom of the dish, and sides. 
  • Place the Cake Crumbs in a large bowl, and continue breaking up the cake until fine crumbs form. 
  • Add the Can of Frosting to the Cake Crumbs, and using your hands, mix the crumbs and Frosting until you have a well mixed gooey mound of Cake mixture.
  • Place a large piece of Parchment paper on a cookie sheet, and place it close to the bowl on the counter. 
  • Roll the Cake mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches, and place on the Parchment paper, and continue until you've used all the Cake mixture. 
  • In a microwave safe bowl, place about half of the Chocolate Candy Melts, and melt them at 10 second intervals, until you can stir them smooth. 
  • Using the candy sticks, dip the sticks into the melted Candy Melts, and immediately into one of the Cake Balls.  Repeat until all the Cake Balls have a stick. 
  • Place the Cookie Sheet in the Freezer for 30 minutes to make sure the sticks adhere to the Cake Pops.  
  • After 30 minutes, remove the Cake Pops from the freezer, and place the remainder of the Candy Melts in with the melted Candy Melts bowl, and melt in the Microwave.
  • When you remove the melted Candy Melts, stir in about 1/2 a teaspoon of Crisco, and stir well to blend. 
  • Holding the sticks, Dip the Cake Pops into the Chocolate Candy Melts, and place the Cake Pops, with the stick, into a large piece of Styrofoam, and Sprinkle the Nonpareils on top of the Cake Pops.  Repeat until all Cake Pops have been Dipped, and Sprinkled. 
  • Allow the Cake Pops to sit for 1 hour, while the Candy Coating sets or hardens.
  • Place in an airtight container, and keep refrigerated for best results.
  • Serve, and Enjoy!
