Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) chocolate cake mix
- Ingredients to prepare cake mix according to box instructions (usually eggs, oil, water)
- 1 (16 ounce) container chocolate frosting
- 1 cup chocolate candy melts
- Green food coloring gel
- 1/2 cup white chocolate candy melts
- Approximately 50 lollipop sticks
- Assorted sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Step 1: Bake the chocolate cake according to the box instructions. Let the cake cool completely before proceeding. Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl.
- Step 2: Add the chocolate frosting to the crumbled cake and mix thoroughly until a smooth, pliable dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Step 3: Roll the cake mixture into 1-inch balls. Insert a lollipop stick approximately halfway into each cake ball.
- Step 4: Melt the chocolate candy melts according to package directions. Divide the melted chocolate in half. Add a small amount of green food coloring gel to one half and stir until evenly colored. Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
- Step 5: While the chocolate is still wet, immediately decorate with sprinkles (optional). Place the cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or a glass of rice to allow the chocolate to set completely.
- Step 6: Once the chocolate has set, melt the white chocolate melts. Using a toothpick or small piping bag, add small white details to the green-dipped cake pops to resemble the pixelated style of Minecraft blocks. Let the white chocolate set completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Store leftover Minecraft Cake Pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a warm, gooey center, briefly microwave individual cake pops for 5-10 seconds.
- Serve these pixelated treats on a Minecraft-themed cake stand for an extra-immersive experience.
- To prevent cracking, ensure your chocolate is not too hot when dipping the cake pops; slightly cool it before dipping for best results.
