CAKE POPS!

Ingredients:

Red Velvet Cake Mix/or Funfetti

Cream Cheese Frosting/ or Funfetti

3 eggs

Vegetable Oil

Water

Pop Rocks

Candy Melts

Food Coloring (if desired)

Candy Sticks

**Pop Rocks, Candy Melts, Frosting not pictured.. sorry**

#1: Make the CAKE MIX as directed. (Pretty simple. 3 eggs, vegetable oil, water, and mix.) I used Red Velvet for one batter, and Funfetti for the other batter.

#2: Pour it into a 9x13 pan and bake it according to the directions.

#3: Take it out of the oven and take a deep whiff. MMM Smells SO good!!!

#4: Now, you crumble up the cake to pieces!! (The fun part!)

#5: Whip out the Cream Cheese Frosting.. (for the Funfetti Cake- use Funfetti Frosting)

#6: Mix the frosting into the crumbled cake.

#7: Using your hands make little balls out of the cake/frosting mix **I kept making football-looking ones at first then I finally figured out how to make it round-sorta.**

THEN stick it in the freezer for 30 minutes to make them HARD.

#8: Melt the Candy Melts into a microwavable bowl.

#9: Stick the Candy Sticks into the candy and put them in the middle of the balls like this.

#10: Get out the Pop Rocks Candy.. and you just dip the cake balls into the Candy Melts and then sprinkle the tops with Pop Rocks. That's it! **Do it FAST because the candy hardens pretty fast.**

**Take a BITE into your Cake Pop.. MMMM!**
