Easy Homemade Cake Pops Recipe
Happy New Year, friends! I hope you had a great holiday and were able to spend it with people you love. We had a pretty nice break ourselves and even took a trip to Maui! It was fun and relaxing, and we made some pretty great memories with the kids. Here’s a little picture from some hiking we did:
It was a lot of fun, but we got pretty muddy on this hike! I think we went through an entire package of baby wipes cleaning up afterwards! We made lots of good memories on our trip, though. 🙂
Like most good things, though, our trip went by way too fast and here we are already halfway through the first week of January. That’s ok though, because it’s time to get back to work here on the blog, and I’m ready for it. 🙂
Chocolate Dipped Cake Pops
Today I’m sharinga yummy little treat with you that I made over the holidays. These do require a bit of time, but they are so easy to prepare that even the kids can help with the process. I like to make these year-round, changing up the sprinkles or decor to go with the season or occasion. You can make any variation of these you like, changing up the cake mix and frosting flavors.
First make your cake, let it cool, then crumble it. Add in your frosting (but not too much or your cake balls will be mushy) refrigerate for a bit, then roll into balls. Freeze the balls for an hour, then dip in melted chocolate. I like to use short skewers to help dip my cake balls, then I let them dry inside of a mug or glass. You have to make sure that your cake balls are frozen enough, or they will fall off of the skewers.
I take the cake balls out of the freezer a few at a time so that they don’t thaw out too much while I’m coating them. Add sprinkles while the coating is still wet. You can also use a fork to help you dip the cake balls in the coating, as long as the bowl you are using is big enough. When you’re all done, you have a super easy and yummy holiday treat!

Cakeball Pops And The Secret To Dipping Anything In Chocolate
Baked cake crumbled and mixed with just the right amount of frosting is then rolled into balls and coated in chocolate. Ooo-la-la! That process right there makes the most delicious dessert, Cake Balls! You’re basically getting a small portion of a cake in ball form. And the best part about it is that they can be decorated in a variety of ways and made with any flavor of cake! Plus with my expertise, you’ll be making perfect homemade cake balls in no time! Let’s get started:
Make cake mix according to package directions. Depending on which brand of cake mix you use, you may need to change the measurements for eggs, oil, and water. Allow baked cake to cool completely.
Mix in cream cheese, frosting, and cocoa powder. The mixture should be moist and stick together easily. If the dough is too dry, add in more frosting a tablespoon at a time.
Oreo Cake Balls
Line baking sheet with parchment paper and using a cookie scoop, scoop cake balls onto the baking sheet. Roll each ball with your hands. If the dough sticks to your hands, you’ll need to wash them occasionally.
Microwave milk chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Start out with 30 seconds, stir, and then melt at 20-second increments until melted. Be careful not to overcook the chocolate or it’ll seize up!
Tip: Work in small batches! Pour ⅓ of the bag of chocolate in the bowl and then once it’s used up, make another ⅓ of the bag.
Chocolate Cake Truffles
If the chocolate is too thick, you can add a tiny amount of coconut oil to thin it out, just be careful not to add too much because the chocolate won’t set! You can also use Crisco shortening.
Once the chocolate is melted and the cake balls are frozen, you’re ready to dip. Place a cake ball onto a fork and dip. You can use a spoon to scoop up chocolate and pour it over the cake ball if needed. When the cake ball is covered, gently tap the fork to let any extra chocolate drop off.
Melt the white chocolate wafers the same way you melted the other chocolate. Place in a plastic Ziploc bag (careful, it can be hot!) and move the chocolate to one corner of the bag. Snip a tiny section of the opposite corner off and drizzle the top of the cake balls! Cool completely then enjoy!

The beauty of this recipe is that you can customize it to create many different flavor combinations! If you are making a variation of this recipe (using a different flavor of cake mix) leave out the cream cheese and cocoa powder. You may need to add more frosting to get the right consistency. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Now that we have the flavors out of the way we can decide how to decorate your cake balls! There are a lot of options out there, so when in doubt, keep it simple.
If you wanted to make cake balls ahead of time you could! The dough should last in the fridge for a couple of days. Or you can roll them out and freeze them for up to three months… just remember to thaw before dipping!
