How to prepare Snowman Cake Pops

Creating Snowman Cake Pops is easy and fun! Here is how you can make these cute treats step by step.

Ingredients:

1 chocolate or vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients needed to make the cake)
1 cup frosting (any flavor you like)
Melting chocolate (white or colored)
Lollipop sticks
Mini chocolate chips (for eyes and buttons)
Orange candy (for the nose, like candy corn or orange M&Ms)
Sprinkles or edible glitter (for decoration)

Steps:

Bake the Cake: Start by baking the cake according to the package instructions. Let it cool completely.
Crumb the Cake: Once the cake is cool, crumble it into a large bowl. Make sure there are no large pieces left.
Mix with Frosting: Add the frosting to the crumbled cake. Start with a half-cup and mix well. Add more frosting if it seems too dry. You want it to hold its shape.
Shape the Pops: Take a small amount of the cake mixture and roll it into balls (about the size of a golf ball). Set aside. Then, roll a smaller ball for the snowman’s head.
Insert Sticks: Melt a little chocolate and dip the end of a lollipop stick into it. Insert the stick into the larger ball, then attach the smaller ball on top for the head. Repeat with all cake pops.
Chill: Place the cake pops in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Dip in Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate following package instructions. Dip each snowman into the melted chocolate, fully coating them. Tap gently to remove excess chocolate.
Decorate: Before the chocolate hardens, use the mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons. Add an orange candy for the nose. You can sprinkle some edible glitter or sprinkles for extra fun!
Allow to Set: Place the finished cake pops upright in a foam block or stand until the chocolate hardens.
