Recipe Directions
Instructions
-
Prepare the cake mix with the water, oil, and eggs. Bake in a 9×13-inch baking pan according to the package instructions.
-
Cool cake completely.
-
Crumble the entire cake in a large bowl with a fork to form crumbs.
-
Add the frosting and mix it into the cake crumbs with your hands or an electric mixer until it forms a ball. Add more frosting if needed to get the right consistency.
-
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Melt a very small amount of almond bark in the microwave. Dip cake pop sticks or lollipop sticks into melted chocolate and then push them into the cake pops. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
-
Melt remaining almond bark in the microwave and divide into 2 bowls. Add pink food gel to one of the bowls and mix until desired shade is achieved.
-
Dip cake pops into melted chocolate until fully coated. Be sure to scrape the excess chocolate on the side of the bowl. Repeat until all of the cake pops are coated in chocolate. Place upright in a holder or foam base to allow the chocolate to harden.
-
Add sprinkles quickly before chocolate hardens then let the cake pops sit until set and then chill until ready to serve.
