Smore Cake Pops
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Makes: 30-35 cake pops
Bake Time: 25-30 min
Cool/Wait Time: 3 hours
Ingredients:
1 1/8 cup graham cracker crumbs (for cake)
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (for finishing decoration)
1 package white cake mix (regular size)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 egg whites
4 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 cup marshmallow creme
1 bag (14 ounces) milk chocolate coating wafers
lollipop sticks
1 package of mini marshmallows
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, beat crumbs, cake mix, sugar, water, egg whites, and oil for 2 minutes.
2. Pour into a 13X9-inch baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
3. Crumble cake into large bowl. Add marshmallow creme; mix until well blended. You may need to add more marshmallow until cake can be molded easily. Shape into 1-inch balls. Refrigerate 2 hours.
4. Melt coating wafers as directed on package. For each cake pop, push the end of the lollipop stick through a mini marshmallow about a half inch down to create a base for the cake. Then, dip the same end of the stick into the melted coating. Insert dipped end of lollipop stick halfway into cake ball. Let stand until the coating is set.
5. Dip each cake pop into melted coating. Shake gently to remove excess coating. Roll cake pops in graham cracker crumbs.
6. Place cake pops in Styrofoam blocks. Let stand until coating is set.
TIP:
Steps 4 and 5 are the hardest parts. It helps to have a partner to help you with these steps. My brother, Luke, put the cake on the sticks, while I dipped them in the chocolate. If the cake gets too warm, they will fall apart when you try to put it on the pop or dip it. If this starts to happen, keep them in the freezer until you're ready to use them to keep them firm! |
