Starbucks Chocolate Cake Pops

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 box chocolate cake mix
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup water
• ⅓ cup coconut oil

  (optional - or use another neutral cooking oil)
• 3 tablespoon chocolate frosting
• 1 lb chocolate almond bark
• white nonpareils sprinkles
• 28 lollipop or treat sticks

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 325°F (175°C/Gas Mark 3) and spray a 9x13 baking dish with
  nonstick cooking spray.
• 2 Into a large mixing bowl, add 1 box chocolate cake mix, 3 large eggs, 1 cup
  water, and ⅓ cup coconut oil.
• 3 Use a hand mixer to mix the ingredients until fully combined.
• 4 Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and then bake it in the oven for
  23-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes
  out clean.
• 5 Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely.
• 6 Break your cake into chunks so that you can fit it into the bowl of your stand
  mixer.
• 7 Using the paddle attachment, mix the cake on low speed until fully crumbled.
• 8 Add 3 tablespoon chocolate frosting and continue mixing on low speed, gradually
  increasing to medium-low, until you have a dough with the consistency of
  play-doh or modeling clay.
• 9 Use a kitchen scale, cookie scoop, or meatball maker (or cake baller) to portion
  your cake dough into equal-sized pieces (a standard cake pop is 1 ounce).
• 10 Roll the dough between your hands until a smooth ball is formed.
• 11 Place 1 lb chocolate almond bark into a microwave-safe container and melt it by
  heating it in 30-second increments and stirring well in between each session.
• 12 Dip the end of each of your 28 lollipop or treat sticks into the chocolate and
  then poke it into your cake balls. Let them set for a few minutes.
• 13 Pick up each cake pop and dip it into the melted chocolate, making sure it gets
  fully covered. Remove it from the chocolate and tap the stick on the side of the
  container so that all of the excess chocolate runs off. Twirl it around and tap
  a few more times to smooth everything out.
• 14 Immediately, while the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle some white nonpareils
  sprinkles on top of the cake pops.
• 15 Place the decorated pops into a cake pop stand or piece of styrofoam and let
  them harden for about 5 minutes before serving or storing for later.
