Cupcake Pops

I found this idea on http://www.bakerella.blogspot.com/ ! She has great ideas and cupcake pops on there! This is just a basic attempt or modification I did for Ben's birthday and they were really good and fun! It is so easy and you can make them as hard or easy as you want!!

Cupcake Pops
(these are the basic directions, go to the website for more info and ideas!)
1 cake mix
1 can frosting
candy melts, dipping chocolate etc.

After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.

Mix thoroughly with 1 can frosting. (I use the back of a large spoon, but it may be easier to use fingers to mix together. But, be warned, it will get messy. Also, you may not need the entire can of frosting, so start out by using almost the entire can and add more if you need to.)

Roll mixture into quarter size balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50) (I used my cookie scoop to make the balls for mine)

Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package. (30 sec intervals, stirring in between.)

Dip the tip of your lollipop stick in a little of the melted candy coating and insert into the cake balls. (Insert a little less than halfway.) ~~make sure to do this it helps to keep the stick from falling out of the cupcake ball!

Place them in the freezer for a little while to firm up. (I put mine in the refrigerator because I didn't dip mine in candy coating or chocolate, I just dipped mine in sprinkles and then in the refrigerator!)

Once firm, carefully insert the cake ball into the candy coating by holding the lollipop stick and rotating until covered. Once covered remove and softly tap and rotate until the excess chocolate falls off. Don't tap too hard or the cake ball will fall off, too.

Place in a styrofoam block to dry.
