Colorful, bite-sized treats that bring joy and celebration, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box vanilla cake mix (plus eggs, oil, and water as directed)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups pink candy melts
  • 2 cups yellow candy melts
  • 2 cups blue candy melts
  • 2 cups purple candy melts
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts (for drizzle)
  • 1/4 cup colorful star sprinkles
  • 24 lollipop sticks
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (to thin candy coating)

Instructions

  1. Start by baking the vanilla cake according to the instructions on the box in a 9×13 pan. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before moving to the next step.
  2. Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl, then fold in the softened cream cheese.
  3. Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture and roll them into balls, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. While the cake balls chill, melt a small portion of the candy melts, dip the tips of each lollipop stick into melted candy, and insert them halfway into the chilled cake balls.
  5. Melt each color of candy melts separately with a little coconut oil to thin them out until smooth.
  6. Dip each cake ball into the melted candy coating, ensuring it’s fully covered, and stand each pop upright to set.
  7. After the pops have set, melt the white chocolate for drizzling, drizzle it over the pops and add colorful sprinkles.
  8. Once everything is dry and set, they’re ready to enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

Chill time is key; ensure cake balls are sufficiently chilled before dipping.
