Ingredients
- 1 cake box mix
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of water
- 1 bag of white melting wafers (10 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or shortening
- 1/3 of a 12-oz container of cream cheese frosting or homemade
- patriotic sprinkles
- 6 inch lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Make the cake according to the directions on the back of the box. Cool completely and crumble. Add the cream cheese frosting and mix well.
- Use at least 1 tablespoon of the mix to form a ball. Add to a cookie sheet and repeat until the mix has been used up.
- Put the cake balls into the freezer for about 15 minutes and prepare a drying station (ideas below). Remove.
- Melt the wafers per the package instructions. Once the wafers are melted stir in the coconut oil or shortening and act quickly.
- Push a lollipop stick in the middle of each cake pop (I like to dip the end of the stick in chocolate before pressing it into the cake).
- Dip the cake balls into the chocolate and then add sprinkles quickly. You can roll, dip, or sprinkle on the decorations.
- Push the cake pop sticks down into the drying station. Let dry until hardened and serve.
