I have used a chocolate velvet cake for the cake pops, recipe here: https://www.myexcellentdegustations.com/chocolate-velvet-cake/
These cake pops are not just pleasant to the eyes but soft and delicious!
Chocolate Peanut butter Cake Pops
Ingredients
- Chocolate velvet cake(please check recipe link above)
- Peanut butter
Coating
- Candy melt, or chocolate or almond bark (melted)
- Food coloring if needed
- Sprinkles of your choice
Equipment
- Cake pop sticks
Instructions
-
First, crumble the chocolate velvet cake until you get fine crumbs.
-
Add peanut butter to the cake crumbs, one tablespoon at the time. Make sure to mix with hands.
-
Once the mixture gets together, form small balls by hands or use an ice cream scoop.
-
Dip the end of a cake pop stick in melted almond bark (or candy melt or chocolate), then push the stick into the cake ball, halfway through.
-
Clean the excess almond bark with your finger.
-
Let chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
-
Dip the cake balls in melted almond bark(or melted chocolate or candy melt). Make sure to let the excess drip off.
-
Add the sprinkles of your choice.
-
Place the cake pops on a styrofoam block or pops decorating stand.
-
Let set.
-
Dust the cake pops with edible luster dust to give them a little sparkle (if you like).
-
Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
- You don’t have to crumble all the chocolate cake to make cake pops, you can use half of it or less if you want to make less cake pops.
- You can place each cake pop in a treat bag and attach the bag with ribbon. That would make a great gift.
- I have used a 9 inch chocolate velvet cake in this recipe( the same amount of ingredients in the chocolate velvet cake recipe link above).
