Method

  6. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until firm.
  7. Insert the Sticks
  8. Melt a small amount of the candy melts or chocolate.

  10. Repeat for all cake balls and refrigerate again for 10-15 minutes to set.
  11. Coat the Cake Pops
  12. Melt the remaining candy melts or chocolate until smooth.
  13. Dip each cake pop into the melted coating, fully covering it.
  14. Gently tap off excess coating and immediately add sprinkles or decorations before it sets.
  15. Set and Serve
  16. Place the cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to dry completely.
  17. Once set, serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Alternative Coatings – If candy melts are unavailable, use white or dark chocolate with a teaspoon of vegetable oil for a smooth consistency.
  • Storage Tips – Store cake pops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Serving Ideas – Arrange cake pops in a decorated foam block, bouquet, or tiered stand for an elegant display.
  • Troubleshooting – If the cake pops crack, let them come to room temperature before dipping to avoid temperature shock.
