7. 7. Melt the remaining chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.
8. 8. Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
9. 9. Place the coated cake pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately decorate with sprinkles, edible glitter, or other festive toppings.
10. 10. Refrigerate the cake pops for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Notes
– For a richer flavor, use a spice cake mix or add a teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to the batter.
– Experiment with different chocolate coatings, such as white, dark, or even a combination of colors.
– Store the cake pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
