- 16.5 oz Vanilla Box Cake Mix, plus ingredients according to package instructions
- 1 cup Vanilla Frosting
- 12 oz Pink Chocolate Candy Melts
- 1/2 cup Rainbow Sprinkles , plus extra for decoration
Prepare and bake the vanilla cake mix according to package instructions
Once the cake is baked, let cool completely in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack
When the cake is cooled, crumble the pieces into a separate, large mixing bowl
Add about 1 cup of frosting and 1/2 cup of rainbow sprinkles
Use an electric hand mixer to combine the cake and frosting
If needed, add an additional 1/4 cup of frosting until it reaches a smooth texture that can be rolled into a ball (I used about 1.5 cups of frosting)
Once combined and at the desired texture, chill the cake pop batter in the fridge for 30-45 minutes
After chilling, scoop about 1.5 tbsp of the cake pop batter and roll into a ball
Then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Repeat until all the dough has been used
Place the baking sheet in the fridge while you melt the pink chocolate wafers
Start by melting 1/4 cup of the pink candy melts in a microwave safe dish. Heat in 30 second intervals, mixing in between each until melted
Remove the cake pop balls from the fridge
Dip the end of a cake pop stick into the chocolate then into the cake pop ball
Place back on the parchment paper
Repeat until a stick has been placed in each cake pop
Put the baking sheet back into the fridge to chill for 30-45 minutes or in the freezer for 20-30 minutes
This gives plenty of time for the chocolate to set
Remove from the fridge/freezer
Now, melt about 1 cup of the pink chocolate wafers in a bowl. Heating for 30 second intervals and mixing in between each to not overheat
Coat each cake pop in the pink chocolate
Let the excess chocolate drip off
Place back on the parchment paper and immediately top with sprinkles before the chocolate hardens
Repeat steps 21-23 until all cake pops are coated
Let the cake pops set completely at room temperature. You can also place them in the fridge so that they get a nice crunch on the outside shell
Enjoy!
