- 1 cup Vanilla Frosting
- 12 oz Orange Candy Melts
- 4 oz White Candy Melts
- 20 Cake Pop Sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the cake batter according to package instructions
- Before transferring to the prepared pan, add 2 tsp of the Orange Flavoring

- Roll into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Chill the cake balls for 10 minutes
- Melt the white candy melts in a microwavable-safe bowl (Start with 30 seconds then short increments of 10-15 seconds to not overheat the chocolate)
