Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Cake mix (Any flavor you love, vanilla or chocolate are classic choices)
- 2 large Eggs (Can substitute with unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg for egg-free version)
- 1 cup Frosting (Store-bought or homemade, cream cheese frosting is ideal)
- 1 bag Candy melts (White chocolate or vanilla for a snowy look)
- 12 pieces Lollipop sticks (Can use sturdy straws as an alternative)
- 1 cup Decorations (Mini chocolate chips for eyes, orange candy bits for noses, decorative sugar or sprinkles)
Instructions
- Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions or your homemade recipe. Once it’s baked, let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the cake has cooled, crumble it in a large bowl until it resembles fine crumbs.
- Add a generous amount of frosting (about a cup) to the cake crumbs. Mix with your hands until combined. It should be moist but not overly sticky.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, creating a larger bottom ball and a smaller one for the head.
- Place lollipop sticks into the balls to hold them together.
- Chill the cake pops in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt the candy melts in the microwave according to package instructions. Stir until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Take each cake pop, dip it into the melted candy coating, and let the excess drip off.
- Quickly add your decorations before the coating sets: use mini chocolate chips for eyes, orange candy for the carrot nose, and sprinkles for a snowy effect.
- Place the finished cake pops in a styrofoam block or a piece of cardboard to allow them to set completely.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to prevent a soggy texture.
- Use toothpicks for smaller decorations if you prefer more control.
- These cake pops can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
