STORE: Do not store it in the fridge or freezer. The chocolate will sweat when brought to room temperature. This causes the sprinkles to bleed. Store at room temperature in either an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap if stored overnight.

Allow to cool upside down at room temperature until the chocolate is set. There is no need to put these Donut Hole Cake Pops in the fridge before dipping as you might when making traditional Cake Pops.

Please do not skip dipping the colored stick into the chocolate and then sticking it into the donut hole. This step acts as the glue to attach the stick to the donut hole. In other words, the chocolate on the end of the stick dries inside the donut hole, thus helping the cake pop and not fall off the stick. Just be sure to allow the stick to set completely before dipping the donut holes into the melted chocolate.

We prefer to use melting wafers for dipping the donut holes into them as they melt well and cover the cake pops smoothly after dipping. Chocolate chips do not create a shiny coating after dipping the cake pops as melting wafers do. Chocolate chips can become clumpy as they do not melt as well.

Ages 2-3: Let your little one dip the colored sticks into the melted chocolate and then help you stick them in the donut hole. A fun counting game will be to count each stick as they dip it into the chocolate.

Ages 4-5: Your child will love being able to use their creativity to decorate the donut holes as you show them how to drizzle the additional layer of drizzled chocolate and add on the sprinkles to the donut holes.

Ages 6-8: Guide your child’s hands as you teach them how to dip the cake pop in chocolate and shake off the excess. They can repeat the process with the remaining donut holes on their own.

The average cake pop will cost you around $2. So making them at home is a cost-effective way to enjoy this yummy treat!

I’m a hard working mama most of the time, but that lazy bone that some people don’t have? I think I might have a tiny one in me somewhere. Every once in a while, I’ll see it surface.

Like when we are trying to get out the door to do preschool drop-offs and Little Boy #3 has the worst case of bedhead ever recorded. He’s not even going to school, just going with me to drop off Little Boy #2 mind you. Why do I spend 5 minutes looking for his hat instead of just actually wetting his hair down and running the comb through it? LAZY!

Or how about when my shirt is a little wrinkly? Do I get out the iron like a normal person, or do I spray it, and then try to use my hair blow dryer to get out the wrinkles? GUILTY!

We’ve got all the cuteness of a cake pop, but you don’t have to bake a cake… or mix it with frosting… or scoop it into balls.

You just melt your chocolate or candy coating, dip the lollipop stick a tiny bit into the melted chocolate, and press it into the top of your cake donut hole that you bought in the bakery section of your grocery store. This will keep it from falling off the stick when you are dipping. If you donut hole is shaped a little wonky, just take a paring knife and trim off the wonky part.

Then you let the chocolate coating harden in the fridge for about 10 minutes, and pull them out and dip the whole thing in the melted chocolate, sprinkle your sprinkles, and then put them back in the fridge to set. It took me about 25 minutes to do two dozen. I also like to let the cake pop harden with the stick pointing up. No worrying needing a special tray to hold them, and you get to add to the cuteness with patterned mini cupcake liners.

CHOCOLATE – We used white chocolate but you can also use dark or milk chocolate for the coating. I always recommend the Ghiradelli brand of melting wafers, but Wilton candy melts, baking chocolate, or almond bark will do the trick as well. To melt chocolate you can use either a double boiler or a small saucepan with a glass bowl over the top.

Though it’s entirely possible to use chocolate chips for this recipe, I wouldn’t recommend it. Chocolate chips do not melt as well and people tend to seize up the chocolate when they try to melt them. Try almond bark or baking chocolate (bars of chocolate) if you’d like to substitute the melting wafers.
