Course: Dessert
Author: Angel Hickman Peterson
Ingredients
1box of plain yellow cake mix(fully prepared)
1 16ozcan of plain vanilla frosting
6packets of Pop Rocks
Lollipop sticks
2lbs. Almond Bark/white dipping chocolate(in fun colors)
Instructions
Prepare cake mix as directed on box. Allow to cool completely. Tip – let sit overnight slightly uncovered to dry out a little.
In a large bowl, crumble cake completely. Remove 1/3 of the frosting from the can. Mix in 3 packets of Pop Rocks. Mix in ½ to 2/3 of the frosting can so the cake crumble can be formed into balls. It’s crucial that the cake be completely cool at this time or you run the risk of the Pop Rocks losing all their fizz. Also it’s normal to hear a little bit of fizz while mixing the dough.
Form dough into 1 ½ inch balls. Place on wax paper on a cookie sheet. Put formed balls into freezer for 1 hour.
Pour remaining Pop Rocks into shallow bowl. Melt dipping chocolate. Spear chilled balls with a lollipop stick with the end covered in a little dipping chocolate. Then cover cake pop with dipping chocolate. While chocolate is still warm dip tops of the cake pop into the Pop Rocks to decorate. Continue to cover all of the frozen balls.
