Remove cake pops from the refrigerator 2-3 at a time to dip in chocolate. Make sure you cover the entire cake ball in chocolate. Then, lightly tap the cake pop stick on your hand to remove excess chocolate.
Make-Ahead: If you're planning for a party, you might be wondering, how far in advance can I make cake pops? You're in luck! You can make your cake pop balls in advance and freeze them for up to three months. Then, when you're ready to dip them in chocolate, let them come fully to room temperature first.
Storage: If you make a big batch, you probably wonder how to store cake pops. You can keep your dipped cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature. I wouldn't go any longer than one week at room temperature. Preferably, within three to five days would be best.
