Description
Easy No-Bake Cake Pops are a fun, bite-sized treat made by combining crumbled cake with frosting, coating them in chocolate, and decorating them with sprinkles or other toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade cake (any flavor, baked and cooled)
- 1/2 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for coating, dark, milk, or white)
- Sprinkles or other decorations (optional)
- Lollipop sticks (or wooden skewers)
Instructions
Prepare the Cake: If using store-bought cake, follow the package instructions to bake and cool. For homemade cake, ensure it is completely cooled.
- Crumble the Cake: Crumble the cooled cake into small pieces with your hands or a fork until it resembles fine crumbs.
- Mix with Frosting: Add 1/2 cup of frosting to the crumbled cake and mix well until the mixture becomes sticky but not overly wet.
- Form the Cake Pops: Roll the cake mixture into 1-inch balls, making 20-25 cake pops depending on size.
- Insert the Sticks: Melt a small amount of chocolate and dip the ends of the sticks into it before inserting them into the center of each cake ball. This helps the sticks stay in place.
- Coat the Cake Pops: Melt the remaining chocolate chips and dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, tapping off excess chocolate.
- Decorate (Optional): While the chocolate is still wet, decorate with sprinkles, colored sugar, or drizzle with additional melted chocolate.
- Chill to Set: Place the cake pops on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, serve and enjoy your cake pops!
Notes
- You can make cake balls without sticks if you prefer. Just skip inserting the sticks.
- For added richness, consider mixing mini chocolate chips, crushed candy, or sprinkles into the cake mixture.
- If you want a more colorful look, use candy melts in various colors instead of chocolate.
