Ingredients
The ingredients for these delicious New Year Cake Pops are simple, but pack a punch when it comes to flavor. You will need 1 box of your favorite cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of sprinkles. Additionally, you will need 2 tablespoons of butter, 8 ounces of cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, mix together the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until well blended. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter and then pour the batter into the pan. Bake the cake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before moving on to the next step.
Once the cake has cooled, break or crumble it into a large bowl. Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, and salt to the bowl and mix together until combined. Form the mixture into balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
When the cake balls have had time to cool, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler. Dip each cake ball in the melted chocolate, making sure to cover it completely. Place the cake pops back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with the sugar and sprinkles. Allow the cake pops to cool and harden before serving.
