Snowman Cake Pops

This month for Relief Society I choose to make snowman cake pops as my formal invitation. Who doesn't like goodies when your at church.

Ingredients:

• 1 box cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
• 1 can frosting (16 oz.)
• Wax paper
• Lollipop sticks
• White candy melts
• Black confetti sprinkles
• Red Hots / Cinnamon candies
• Black edible ink pen
• Regular Oreos
• Miniature Oreos
• Toothpicks
• Styrofoam block/Cardboard Stand

Oreo cookies yum, if only I could eat chocolate

Separate Cookie. Remove Icing with Toothpick

Place the side with the icing scraped off down 

The miniature Oreos can get a lot of crumbs stuck to the side of the creme center, so take a toothpick and scrape the surface off for a white edge.

Use some of the melted coating to attach the miniature Oreo to the regular size Oreo half and set aside.

Bake Cake as per Instructions on the back of the box

After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.

Assemble Cake Pop Stand

Assembled Stand

Mix thoroughly with 1 can frosting. (I use the back of a large spoon, but it may be easier to use fingers to mix together. But, be warned, it will get messy. Also, you may not need the entire can of frosting, so start out by using almost the entire can and add more if you need to.) Roll mixture into quarter size balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50)

Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package. (30 sec intervals, stirring in between.) (use double broiler I tried the microwave way it does not work well). Dip the tip of your lollipop stick in a little of the melted candy coating and insert into the cake balls. (Insert a little less than halfway.)

Place them in the freezer for a little while to firm up

Once firm, carefully insert the cake ball into the candy coating by holding the lollipop stick and rotating until covered. Once covered remove and softly tap and rotate until the excess chocolate falls off. Don’t tap too hard or the cake ball will fall off, too. Place in a styrofoam block or cardboard cake ball stands to dry. Place them back in the refrigerator to keep firm.

Dip the cake pops and while the coating is still wet, attach the sunflower seed nose and the Oreo hat and let dry. Then attach the confetti sprinkle eyes by dotting on a small amount of coating with a toothpick and attach the sprinkles. Draw the mouths with the edible ink pen and let dry standing in a cardboard stand.

I had plastic bag with twist tie and tag to cover my snowman
