sprinkles
For Chocolate
Frosting
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
For Chocolate
Frosting
Mix together. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
Add vanilla. Cool partially, and then beat for few minutes or until spreadable
consistency.
How to Proceed
Crumble the cake until it resembles fine crumbs.
Add in frosting a little bit at a time until cake is moist and can hold a ball shape, yet still slightly crumbly.
Use your hands to incorporate the frosting into the cake crumbs.
Roll the mixture into small tight balls and place on a plate.
Melt white chocolate in the microwave or double boiler.
Dip the tip of the cake pop sticks into the white chocolate and insert into the cake balls about half-way.
Freeze for about 20 minutes.
Remove cake balls from freezer.
Dip cake balls carefully into the chocolate until covered.
Let the excess chocolate drip off. Swirl and tap gently if needed.
Add the sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. It will harden quickly.
Stick the decorated cake pop into a Styrofoam block or a thermacoal to finish setting.
Place into the freezer to speed up setting time.
Cover with a clear treat bag & ribbon for gift giving, if desired.
Store in a single layer, in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
Tips
Can use any left over cake for crumbs.
If your cake has icing then remove it before making crumbs.
Use that icing in place of frosting, if needed.
If the cake is already too moist, you won't need to add frosting.
I used brownie crumbs to make these pops, and I didn't add frosting.
You can use a mini ice cream scoop to scoop out balls of cake mixture.
To keep your cake pops from falling off the stick, put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes so they are super chilled.
If using toothpicks, make sure that your cake balls are not very big.
You can use dark chocolate for dipping or can use both.
Use your imagination for decorating the pops :)
