Description
Small, bite-sized cake pops featuring apple and caramel flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- Ingredients required by cake mix box (eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pound white chocolate melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup crushed pretzels (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the cake according to the box directions using the required ingredients. Bake in a 9×13 inch pan. Let the cake cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl.
- Add the softened cream cheese and caramel sauce to the cake crumbs. Mix until fully combined and the mixture holds together when squeezed.
- Roll the mixture into small, one-inch balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While the balls chill, prepare the dipping chocolate. Melt the white chocolate wafers with the vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth.
- Insert lollipop sticks into the chilled cake balls.
- Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, rotating to coat completely. Tap the stick gently against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- If using, immediately sprinkle crushed pretzels over the wet chocolate.
- Place the finished cake pops back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
- Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or briefly in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a smoother dip, add a small amount of shortening to the melting chocolate.
- If the cake mixture seems too sticky, add a small amount of powdered sugar until it is manageable.
- You can use store-bought caramel sauce or homemade.
