Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix (flavor of choice: vanilla or chocolate)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup of frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups green candy melts
- Decorative sprinkles (edible glitter, mini marshmallows, candy stars)
- Lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Bake the cake according to package instructions and allow to cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake in a large mixing bowl until it resembles sand.
- Add a few tablespoons of frosting and mix until it holds together when squeezed.
- Form the mixture into small tree-shaped balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Chill the pops in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Melt the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
- Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy, then insert it into the cake pop.
- Dip each pop into the melted candy until well-coated and allow excess to drip off.
- While the coating is still wet, add festive sprinkles and allow to dry completely.
Notes
Ensure ingredients like eggs are at room temperature for even mixing. Chilling the pops is crucial for easier handling.
