How to Make No Bake Cake Pops
Ingredients :
– 1 package (14 oz) cake mix (vanilla or chocolate)
– 1/2 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/2 pound candy melts or chocolate chips
– Sprinkles (optional)
– 24 lollipop sticks
Directions :
1. In a bowl, combine the cake mix and frosting till it forms a smooth, moldable dough.
2. Roll out small balls from the dough, about 1 inch in diameter, and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Refrigerate these dough balls for roughly 30 minutes until they are firm.
4. Melt the candy or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring each time until smooth.
5. Dip one end of the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and then insert it halfway into the chilled cake ball. Repeat this for all the cake balls.
6. Now, dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate to coat it completely. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
7. While the chocolate is still wet, add the optional sprinkles or any other toppings of your choice.
8. Arrange the cake pops upright in a stand or styrofoam block and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.

Tips to Make No Bake Cake Pops
– The dough should be thick enough to hold its shape, if it’s too soft, add more cake mix or refrigerate it until it’s firm.
– When melting your candy or chocolate, ensure it’s not too hot or it could melt the cake pop.
Variations
– You can use any flavor of cake mix you like, such as lemon, strawberry, or red velvet.
– Instead of candy melts or chocolate chips, you can also use white chocolate or butterscotch chips.
– For the coating, you can use nuts, sprinkles or coconut flakes.
