Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 box of dark chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of dark chocolate frosting
- 2 cups of crushed almonds
- 24 cake pop sticks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the dark chocolate cake mix, 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, and 3 eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely, then crumble it into a large bowl.
- Add the dark chocolate frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until well combined.
- Using your hands, roll the cake mixture into 24 evenly sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Insert a cake pop stick into each ball and place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
- Place the crushed almonds in a shallow dish.
- Melt the remaining dark chocolate frosting in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and pourable.
- Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off, then immediately roll it in the crushed almonds to coat.
- Place the finished cake pops back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Serve and enjoy!
