Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 box Chocolate Cake Mix ({15.25 oz.})
- Water, Oil and Eggs required to bake the cake ({per instructions on the box})
- 16 oz. Chocolate Frosting
- 24 oz. Chocolate Candy Melts ({or chocolate chips})
- 1 1/2 cups Crushed Pretzels
- 18 Pretzel Rods
Instruction
- First, bake your cake.
- After it has baked and cooled, crumble it into a bowl.
- Add a container of frosting to the crumbled cake. Normally, I use cream cheese frosting for my cake pops but, since I’m making these for a bunch of moms, I decided to go with chocolate on chocolate.
- With a spoon, thoroughly mix the crumbled cake and frosting together. Next, form small balls and put them on a cookie sheet in the freezer to chill.
- Leave them in the freezer for at least a half hour.
- When the cake balls are chilled, melt a few candy melts in a microwave safe bowl.
- Dip long pretzel sticks into the melted candy melts and stick them into the cake balls. Put them back in the freezer for a few minutes to get cold and hard again.
- While they are chilling, crush up pretzels. I put my pretzels in a ziplock bag and then rolled them out with a rolling pin.
- Melt the rest of the candy melts, dip the cake pops in the melted chocolate and then roll them in the crushed pretzel. Have a jar or another narrow container in your freezer to set the cake pops in, immediately after rolling them in the crushed pretzel. They only take a moment to harden in the freezer and then they can be laid out on a plate or put into a container to store them.
