How to Make Cake Pops

Directions:

  1. Melt candy melts in a microwave safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring in between each burst on completely melted.
  2. Dip one end of each stick into melted chocolate and insert it into the cake pop and allow to harden.
  3. Dip each pop into melted chocolate and place in the refrigerator to set up.
  4. While cake pops are hardening, take a piece of banana Laffy Taffy and form into small triangular pieces. *For each piece of taffy, I was able to get about 10-12 small triangles from each.
  5. After cake pops have hardened, dip the taffy pieces into the melted chocolate and arrange them along the edge of each pop.
  6. Allow to set for 15 minutes to harden.
  7. After all of the chocolate has hardened, using the black gel frosting, draw on eyes and mouth.

  1. I’m not good at making cake pops, but your version is so cute!

      Yeah, if I were cooking/baking for 10, I’d be looking for easy/simple too. 🙂

  2. So cute! How big are those triangles because I’m thinking candy corn might work too…. 😉

      Hmmmmm, I think candy corn would work. You could slice through a candy corn to make it thinner (so one candy corn would be 2 pieces) and that would definitely work.

  3. Cake pops are so much fun and I just love making them with my kids. We’re not all that creative and our cake pops are just regular. These look super easy to do, and I think I can try to make them.

  4. Those are cute! I’ve had a heck of a time making cake pops.
