Chocolate Mint Cake Pops Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray sheet cake pan or baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water and oil. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely. Divide cake in half and freeze one half for future use.
• Using your hands, crumble up the cake until no large pieces remain.
• Add frosting, mixing with fingers until well combined.
• Form into cake balls and chill until set, about 2 hours.Small cake pops: 1 tablespoon-sized cake balls (each about 1 1/4 inch diameter) makes about 48 cake pops.Medium cake pops: 2 tablespoons-sized cake balls (each about 1 1/2 inch diameter) makes about 24 cake pops.Large cake pops: 3 tablespoons-sized cake balls (each about 1 3/4 inch diameter) makes about 16 cake pops.
• While cake balls are setting, melt Candy Melts candy according to package instructions.
• Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted candy, then into set cake balls. Repeat with all cake balls, then let chill again until set, about 10 minutes. Reserve remaining melted candy.
• Dip the cake balls, one at a time, into remaining melted candy. Tap lightly to remove excess. If needed, you can reheat the candy with some EZ Thin Dipping Aid to thin it out for easier dipping.
• Immediately cover with sprinkles or topping of choice, then transfer to craft foam. Repeat with remaining cake pops. Chill until set, about 10 to 15 minutes.

CHOCOLATE MINT CAKE POPS

Steps:

• 1. Bake you cake as directed on the box. Once it's completely cooled down. crumble it in a large bowel.
• 2. Next get your can of frosting. I only use about half or a little more but never a full can . (some people like to use it all) Put half of it in a bowel and use a fork to mix it.
• 3. Next add your mint flavor just a couple drops at a time till you like the taste. Take the mixed frosting and mix it in well with the crumbled up cake you just made.
• 4. Once everything is really mixed well cover it and I usually place mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes. While your cake it "setting" start melting down your chocolate melts. You can either use a chocolate warmer or use your microwave. if you use the microwave start with 15 seconds then stir. do this again until all the chocolate is melted.
• 5. Once all the chocolate is melted and your cake mix is now "firm" take some out of the bowel and make little balls with your hands. set these balls on a plate. keep doing this till all the cake is gone.
• 6. Now take your sticks and dip one end into the melted chocolate quickly place the dipped part of the stick into one of the balls and then place ball side down on plate,once these are done I usually place in the freezer for about 5 mins to make sure the sticks are in place. take them out and dip into the chocolate melts. the chocolate will freeze on quickly because the balls are already cold. tap the stick on the side of your warmer to get any excess chocolate off. then place in a pop holder. I made mine myself out of stuff you put fake flowers in. works great! Once these are all set and dried you can wrap them in your baggies and tie them off and there you have an amazing tasting cake pop! Yummmy! You can add sprinkles or whichever you'd like to make them look pretty too!
