Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix (1 box), such as Betty Crocker
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 16 ounces chocolate frosting (1 tub), such as Betty Crocker
- 10 ounces melting chocolate (1 bag), Ghirardelli recommended
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9x13 baking pan with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.
- Mix the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs together in a medium bowl. Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake according to the instructions on the package, or about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Once the cake has cooled, break it into pieces until it is a fine crumble. Stir in the frosting, mixing until the crumble forms into a small ball and sticks together.
- Scoop into 1½ inch balls and roll into a round shape. Place the shaped balls into a large bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate. Using a fork, dip each cake ball into the chocolate briefly, then let drip off. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
Notes
- To make cake pops, place the pop stick into the chocolate, just covering the top of the stick before inserting into the cake pop this helps hold the cake pop on the stick when you are dipping). Dip the entire ball of cake into the chocolate, until it is completely covered. Tap the middle of the stick onto the edge of the bowl so the excess chocolate drips back into the bowl. Allow the chocolate to set.
- Storage: Store chocolate cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 6 weeks.
