Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box Cake Mix of Your Choice
1 box Instant Pudding Mix (3.4 oz (If you're using a chocolate cake mix, use chocolate instant pudding mix.))
4 Eggs
1 cup Water
1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup Buttercream Frosting ((chocolate frosting for chocolate pops))
1 bag Candy Melts Candy (12 oz. (any color you'd like))
Your Choice of Toppings ((sprinkles, nuts or other toppings))

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.

1 cup water
3 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) package prepared chocolate frosting
18 lollipop sticks
1 (14 ounce) bag chocolate candy melts
1 (.75 ounce) tube decorating icing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Beat cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a bowl using an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.

Tips:

  • To ensure your cake pops are moist and fluffy, use a fresh, high-quality chocolate cake mix. If you're using a boxed cake mix, be sure to follow the recipe instructions for baking the cake. If you're making your cake from scratch, use a recipe that yields a moist and tender cake.
  • When making the cake batter, be sure to mix it thoroughly until it is smooth and homogeneous. Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cake, so mix it just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • When baking the cake, be sure to check it regularly to prevent it from overbaking. The cake is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before making the cake pops. This will help to prevent the cake from crumbling when you roll it into balls.
  • When dipping the cake pops into the melted chocolate, be sure to coat them completely. Use a spoon or fork to help you evenly coat the cake pops.
  • Place the cake pops on a lined baking sheet and allow them to cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the chocolate from melting.

These chocolate orange cake pops are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor and a hint of orange. The cake pops are also easy to decorate, so you can get creative and make them look festive for any party or holiday.
