Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon pure mint extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Colorful sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan. In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, and water according to package instructions. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for ten minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine pieces.
- Gradually mix in mint extract until moldable. Form small balls (about 1 inch) and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl at medium power, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip each cake ball into melted chocolate using a fork until fully coated. Place back on parchment paper and add sprinkles immediately.
- Allow to set before serving.
Notes
For enhanced flavor, consider adding crushed peppermint candies as toppings or using dark chocolate for coating.
Store leftover cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for up to one week.
