Snowman Cake Pops (easy Diy)

Decorating will be easy – dip the balls in melted chocolate wafers with your favorite holiday colors (red, green, and white are always a welcome color palette this time of year!), and cover them with assorted sprinkles.

Once you finish admiring the festively hued decorations outside, take a big bite into the colorful center made with vibrant red velvet cake (recipe coming soon!).

Christmas Brownie Pops

Tired of decorating cookies for the holidays? Spread the Christmas cheer to cake pops instead, with red velvet cake and fun sprinkles.

Follow ’s step-by-step guidelines on how to make perfect cake pops: prep and chill the balls with the icing, insert the sticks in the center, and chill for an additional 5 minutes to set the sticks.

Melt the white chocolate coating and let cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Once it has cooled slightly, dip each one in the chocolate, swirling it to completely coat the surface.

Gently tap it on the side of the bowl to remove any excess, using your fingers or a toothpick if necessary to guide the excess melted coating back into the bowl. Keep tapping and swirling the stick until all excess chocolate is removed, and you have a smooth, even layer.

If the chocolate gets too thick or too cold to work with, re-warm in the microwave, and stir in a little vegetable shortening.

Apply any sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet and has not yet set. The chocolate will harden quickly, so you want to work fast to make sure the sprinkles stick.

Festive Cake Pops

If you want your pops to stand up on their own, apply one extra chocolate wafer on top of each pop with a little melted chocolate, with the flat side of the wafer facing up.

Use a fun variety of colors to celebration the holiday season! You can even try making your own sprinkles, using my recipe for royal icing.

Place the pops back on the foam block to completely set, about 20 minutes. Once the chocolate has completely set, your bite-sized desserts can be eaten immediately, or they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Cake Ball Christmas Tree Recipe

You can carefully wrap each individual treat in cellophane and store on a large platter. Or, you can keep them upright on the foam block, and gently cover with a large sheet of plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Even though I used a red velvet base for this recipe (which I also used for my Valentine’s Day ones), use whatever cake you like best! Chocolate, vanilla, even pumpkin spice (remember my Halloween-themed pops?).

I hope you’ll have a holly jolly time decorating these cute little desserts. Get the whole family involved to make and decorate them. Maybe this will be your new holiday tradition…
