- 1 tsp Vanilla extract

- 16 oz Candy Coating

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 13″x 9″ cake pan.
- Make the Cake: If you are using Annie’s Organic Confetti Cake Mix (otherwise, follow the directions on your cake mix), beat together the cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large mixing bowl.
- Spread the cake mix evenly in the prepared cake pan and bake as directed. Remove from oven, and allow to cool completely.
- Make the Icing: While your cake is baking, whisk together the Powdered sugar, softened Butter, and Vanilla extract with a hand mixer or standing mixer. Slowly add in the Heavy Cream, one tbsp at a time, until thoroughly combined. Tip: To adjust the consistency of your icing, add an extra tablespoon of Heavy Cream.
- Melt your Candy Coating per the directions on the packaging.
- Once the cake is cooled completely, crumble the cake in a large bowl with a fork until it is finely crumbled. Mix in the icing mixture with a hand mixer or standing mixer until the mixture resembles wet sand. The mix should hold together like the consistency of cookie dough.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Using a cookie scooper, scoop out around 1 tablespoon of mixture, roll it into a ball, and place it on the baking sheet until all mix is rolled. Freeze for 15 – 20 minutes.
- Remove about half of the frozen cake balls from the freezer at a time to ensure they do not reach room temperature. Dip a cake pop stick into the melted chocolate, and insert it about halfway into the cake ball. Let the chocolate harden completely.
- Dip the cake pop in chocolate until thoroughly coated. Remove from chocolate and decorate with sprinkles if desired. Set aside upright in a foam block or a cake pop stand. Repeat until all cake pops are coated and decorated.
