Author: Christina Shirley
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
- vanilla cake mix, prepared and cooled
- maple and bacon frosting, prepared
- 12 oz package Dark Cocoa Candy Melts
- cake pop sticks
- ½ lb cooked bacon, crumbled
Instructions
- Prepare cake and frosting according to package.
- Allow cake to cool, then crumble.
- Add ¾ cup maple and bacon frosting to crumbled cake.
- Use your hands to really mix it all in.
- Using a mini scoop, make your cake balls evenly sized and place on a plate.
- Melt a few chocolate wafers for 1 min at 50% power and stir.
- Dip cake pop sticks into melted chocolate and stick them half way into cake balls.
- Place balls with sticks in them into the freezer for about 20 minutes.
- Melt chocolate in a tall slim container (this makes it easier to dip the whole cake pop in without all the twirling and swirling) for 1 min at 50% power. Stir and microwave in 30 sec intervals as needed.
- Dip cake pops into melted chocolate and add a few pieces of crumbled bacon immediately (chocolate will harden quickly).
