Instructions
1-Getting started with Christmas Cake Pops: begins with gathering your ingredients and setting up your workspace for a smooth process. Bake the cake using one box of 16.5 oz super moist yellow cake mix in a 9×13 pan, following the package instructions, which takes about 25 minutes. Once baked, let it cool completely, then remove and discard the brown crust before crumbling the cake into a large bowl.
2-Next: mix in 1/3 cup of cream cheese frosting until the mixture is well incorporated and easy to shape. Use a cookie scoop to form the mixture into 24 to 36 uniform cake balls, placing them on a lined baking olsun sheet for neatness. Insert lollipop sticks halfway into each cake ball and freeze them for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up before dipping.
3-Now: melt the candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring to avoid burning start with the 8 oz each of white, red, and green varieties. Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted candy coating, letting excess drip off, and quickly decorate with Christmas sprinkles before the coating sets. Finally, stand the cake pops in a block of styrofoam to dry completely, finishing the process in about 55 minutes total, including prep, baking, and freezing time.
