CAKE POPS

CAKE POPS
Love, love, love these.  We tried to win these at an auction and they were too much.  Amy Cunningham (Myah made them) gave me the recipe and the holder to use.  I since have seen on pinterest (also pinned some different ones) that you can use an egg carton to hold them while they dry.  I ran out of sticks so I just used a fork hold the pop while I poured chocolate over it then put on sprinkles (next time roll in sprinkles or topping) then dried on parchment paper.  They dry really fast.

1 cake mix (don't buy one with  pudding in the mix - make them hard to roll)
1 can of frosting (milk chocolate)
sticks
plastic to wrap pops
ribbon
springkles
melting chocolate (I used from the bulk at WinCo 1/2 dark chocolate 1/2 milk) almond bark would be good too.
egg carton or craft foam to hold the suckers

1st - bake cake
2nd - once slightly cooled break and crumble in a bowl
3rd - Mix about 1/4 of the can of frosting -a little bit more if you want brownie type pops.
4th - with a mixer mix until it creates a big ball
5th - cover really well and freeze for at least 2 hours
6th - remove from freezer and form into individual balls (scoopers work really well)
7th - refreeze for a couple more hours
8th - melt chocolate and cover balls
9th - decorate balls right after putting on chocolate - it hardens really fast
10th - put in bag if giving away or on a plate for serving
