Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. You should have about 3 cups loosely packed.

  2. Step 2

    Add frosting and stir until the mixture holds together when squeezed. It should feel like damp sand.

  3. Step 3

    Roll the mixture into 12 balls about the size of walnuts. Place them on parchment paper.

  4. Step 4

    Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.

  5. Step 5

    Dip the tip of each stick into melted chocolate, then push it halfway into a cake ball. Let set 30 seconds.

  6. Step 6

    Dip each pop into chocolate, twirl to coat, tap off excess, then immediately roll in sprinkles. Serve.

Tools you’ll need
