Ingredients

  • 1 box Super Moist Vanilla Cake Mix 16.5 oz box
  • *Plus ingredients to prepare the cake on the back of the box
  • 1/3 cup Vanilla Frosting
  • 16 oz Green Candy Melts
  • Mini M&Ms
  • Yellow Star Sprinkles
  • Lollipop Sticks

Instructions

  • Make cake and bake according to box instructions in a 9X13 pan. Then let the cake cool at room temperature.
  • Remove the cake from the pan.  Remove the brown outside layer from the cake and throw it away.  Crumble up the remaining cake into a large bowl.
  • Add the frosting to your crumbled cake and stir everything together until well combined.
  • Take approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a cone shape and place on a baking sheet.  Continue this process until all the cake mixture is formed into cone shapes.
  • Place the green candy melt in a microwave safe bowl.  Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted. Be careful not to over heat.
  • Dip the end of lollipop sticks into the melted green candy melt.  Then gently place each cake pop stick into the larger end of the cone about halfway through.  Then place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Then dip the entire tree portion of the cake pop in the green candy melt.  Use a toothpick to make the candy melt resemble the branches on a Christmas tree.
  • Then place the stick of cake pops in a block of styrofoam.  Top the cake pops with the M&Ms as ornaments and top with a star sprinkle on top before the candy coating dries.
  • Continue until all the Christmas trees have been covered and decorated.  Once all the cake pops are dry, they are ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerate the cake pops in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
