Melt the white chocolate according to package directions and dip the end of each lollipop stick into it. Push the chocolate end of each stick into a cake ball and set them in the freezer for about 20 minutes.

Swirling stars and vibrant colors make these Galaxy Cake Pops a wow-worthy party treat! Perfect for space or Star Wars themed parties and birthdays.
