Who needs a pastry chef when we've got simple, step-by-step instructions to making professional-quality Christmas Cake Pops at home?
Ingredients
Yield: 12 cake pops

- 1 can dark chocolate frosting
- white dipping chocolate
- 12 candy sticks
- 12 chocolate dipped peppermint sticks
- crushed peppermint topping
Instructions
- Crumble baked sheet cake into a large mixing bowl. Add chocolate frosting to the cake and knead until the frosting and cake form a dough-like consistency then form dough into 1-2" balls. Place on wax paper lined baking sheet and freeze, 30 minutes to an hour.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Remove cake pops from refrigerator and allow to thaw slightly.
- Melt white dipping chocolate according to directions. Dip tip of candy stick in melted chocolate and then insert into center of cake pop to make a temporary handle; then refrigerate 15 minutes to harden.
- Spread crushed candy cane evenly across a plate. Dip cake pop in dipping chocolate, coating thoroughly and using a butter knife to trim off any excess before dipping top of cake pop in crushed peppermint. Place topping side down and return to refrigerate to harden.
