Ingredients
Scale
- 1 – 15 oz box of cake mix (any flavor)
- 1/2 cup frosting
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups vanilla melting chocolate
- 24 pack lollipop sticks
- Black, red & green fondant
- Black and orange writing gel
Instructions
- Prepare and bake cake mix according to package instructions. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Crumble cooled cake into a large bowl. Mix in frosting until malleable but firm.
- Roll 1 1/2” sized balls. Dip lollipop sticks into melted chocolate, insert halfway into cake balls, and freeze 1–2 hours.
- Melt remaining chocolate with optional 1 Tbsp coconut oil. Dip frozen cake pops, coat completely. Let harden upright in styrofoam or mugs filled with rice. Add hats if desired while chocolate is soft.
- Roll fondant, cut scarves, bowties, hats, or other decorations. Attach using a drop of water as needed.
- Use black and orange writing gel to create eyes, nose, mouth, and buttons. Allow to set before serving.
Notes
- Work with fondant just before decorating to prevent drying.
- Make hats just before dipping in chocolate to stick properly.
- Yield depends on single or double ball snowmen: 14–24 cake pops.
