Beach Cake Pop
Ingredients:
– 1 box of your favorite cake mix (and the required ingredients to make it)
– 1 cup of frosting (color of your choice)
– 2 cups of blue candy melts
– 2 cups of light brown sugar
– Mini pretzel sticks
– Assorted colorful sprinkles
– Lollipop sticks
– Wax paper
Instructions:
1. Bake the cake according to the instructions on the box. Once baked and cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
2. Add the frosting to the crumbs, a little at a time, until the mixture can hold its shape when formed into a ball. You may not need to use all of the frosting, so add it gradually.
3. Take small portions of the cake mixture and roll them into small balls using your hands. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Insert a lollipop stick into each ball and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
4. While the cake pops are chilling, melt the blue candy melts in the microwave following the package instructions. Stir until smooth.
5. Dip each cake pop into the melted candy coating, using a swirling motion to ensure the cake pop is fully coated. Let the excess coating drip off.
6. Sprinkle light brown sugar over the bottom half of the cake pop to resemble sandy beach. You can gently pat the sugar onto the coating to help it stick.
7. Before the coating sets, place a small pretzel stick on the top of each cake pop to resemble a beach umbrella.
8. Decorate the top of each cake pop with colorful sprinkles to represent beach balls, seashells, or any other fun beach-themed design you like.
9. Once all the cake pops are decorated, place them back on the wax paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes to set the coating.
10. Serve your adorable Beach Cake Pops on a decorative platter and watch as they dazzle your guests with their beachy charm and delicious taste.
