Cake Pops


Any leftover cake (chocolate, vanilla, carrot, lemon etc.)
frosting (any flavor you like)
chocolate chips for melting (any flavor or color you like)
sprinkles, jimmies,coconut,chopped nuts (anything you would like to decorate pops)
lollipop sticks (you can get these at craft stores)
styrofoam block (you can also use a cardboard box with holes punched in top)

Crumble leftover cake into small bits. Add enough frosting to make mix into putty consistency. Form mix into small balls and refrigerate for about 10 minutes until chilled. Melt chocolate over double boiler or in microwave for about 30 seconds on defrost setting at medium heat. Dip tip of lollipop stick in melted chocolate then stick halfway into chilled cake ball, stick into foam or box chill for 5 minutes. Pour melted chocolate over chilled cake balls till coated then dip into sprinkles, jimmies, etc. then chill finished balls until your ready to serve. Enjoy!


P.S. You can make as many or little cake pops as you like with this recipe depending on how much cake and frosting you have. You can also lay the pops on waxed paper to set if you don't mind the pops having a flat side.
