Ingredients
First of all, let's get the ingredients together to make these delicious Christmas tree cake pops. You will need one package of your favorite cake mix, one package of white chocolate chips, one package of pretzel rods, and one container of green frosting. You'll also need some green sprinkles, some white sprinkles, and some mini chocolate chips. Finally, you'll need some lollipop sticks, some parchment paper, and a double-boiler.
Once you have all your ingredients together, you can start making the cake pops. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, make the cake according to the instructions on the package. Once the cake is baked, let it cool completely. Once it is cooled, crumble it up and mix it with the white chocolate chips until it forms a thick dough.
Instructions
Now it's time to shape the cake pops. Take a piece of dough and shape it into a cone, then insert a lollipop stick into the bottom. Place the cake pop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the cake pops are shaped and on the baking sheet, place them in the refrigerator for about an hour. This will help them keep their shape.
Once the cake pops have chilled, it's time to melt the white chocolate. Place the white chocolate chips into the double-boiler and heat until all the chocolate is melted. Remove the cake pops from the refrigerator and dip them into the melted chocolate. Then, roll the cake pop in the green sprinkles and mini chocolate chips. To finish it off, top the cake pop with a pretzel rod that has been dipped in the melted chocolate.
Once all the cake pops have been decorated, place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about an hour to allow the chocolate to set. Once the chocolate has set, you can pipe the green frosting onto the cake pops in a Christmas tree shape. Finally, add some white sprinkles to the tops of the Christmas trees to make them look like they have snow.
