REMOVE a few cake pops from the freezer, keeping the rest frozen. Hold one cake pop over a bowl of remelted candy. Dip cake pop and allow excess to drip off. Place onto another parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for another 30 minutes.

(I will give you the shortened version here.)

To make the cake balls, you need to make your cake into small crumbs (after it's cooled). Add about 1-2 cups of icing, until the cake and icing stick together into a ragged dough. Using firm pressure roll the cake into 1-2 tsp.-sized cake balls. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to overnight.

Pot Of Gold Donut Holes

Melt Dark Chocolate Candy Melts with 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil on low power until the candy is just melted. Candy should not get hot or it will seize.

Dip about 1/2 of the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate. This helps keep your cake pop on the stick. If you skip this step you may notice that your cake ball falls off of the stick more often.

Dip the pop into the melted chocolate, being careful not to twist or twirl the stick or that will loosen the pop. Try to just dip straight in and straight back out.

Tri Color Christmas Cake Pops

You want to have the cake pop below the stick, as you see in the photo. Because you want the extra candy to pool on the top of the pop. That makes the lip of the pot.

Now, you do have to be careful with the tapping here. Don't tap too hard. You're basically daring the pop to fall off of the stick by tapping it like this.

Let the candy set, and create the top of the pot by placing the pops on their tops directly on waxed or parchment paper.

Bunny Bottom Cupcakes

While the cake pops set, if you would like to add the rainbows, melt your rainbow of colors of candy melts in small squeeze bottles

Squeeze small rainbows onto a piece of parchment or waxed paper that you set on a cookie sheet or pan. You may want to refrigerate these to help them set up more firmly and quickly. If you try to move the paper to a cookie sheet later, the rainbows kind of smear.

Once the cake pops and the rainbows have set, use a squeeze bottle or decorating bag to squeeze a small amount of melted chocolate (or yellow, if you wish) candy on the top of your pot.

Witch's Cauldron Halloween Cake Pops Recipe

Pour some of your gold into a small bowl or dish. Dip the top of your pot into the sprinkles to get them to stick.

If you can't find the gold dragees... or you don't want to use them... as I'm not 100% sure you're really supposed to eat them in large quantities... you can use yellow nonpariels like you see here.

You can also use yellow sanding sugar sprinkles... but be sure you use white or yellow candy underneath, to stick it to the pop. Using the dark chocolate makes the sugar dark, and it doesn't look very shiny or golden.

St Patrick's Day Cake Balls

If you want to make a rainbow of cake pops to find your pots of gold, those are super easy. You can just dip the cake pop in white candy, and cover them in a rainbow of sanding sugars.
