Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package strawberry cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or canola oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons canned white, vanilla, or cream cheese frosting
- 20 ounces vanilla melting chocolate or almond bark
- Pink or red food coloring gel (for half of the cake pops)
- Valentine’s Day sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the cake mix package.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil or canola oil, and 3 large eggs. Mix until combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into a 9×13-inch baking pan and bake as directed on the package.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- Using a fork, crumble the entire cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons of frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until the crumbs hold together and form a ball.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt a small amount of almond bark or melting chocolate in the microwave, dip the tip of each cake pop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert it into each cake ball.
- Refrigerate the pops for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Melt the remaining almond bark and divide it into two bowls, adding food coloring to one bowl.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate and scrape off the excess.
- Place them upright in a holder to allow the coating to harden and sprinkle with Valentine’s Day sprinkles.
- Allow the coating to set, then chill until ready to serve.
