Ingredients

• 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix
• 4 eggs (yokes only)
• 1/2 c. vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp. Cream cheese frosting
• 12oz. Red Candy Melts
• 2 tbsp. Shortening
• Pearl Sprinkles

Directions

• Preheat oven, then follow the directions on the cake mix package, substituting egg yolks +1 for eggs. Mix all ingredients.
• Bake the cake and check at the earliest cook time for your size pan. Once cooked, allow to come to room temperature.
• Cut off the outside edges of the cake.
• Use your hands to break apart the cake. With your hands gently fold in 3 tablespoons of cream cheese frosting. Mix well until cake mixture can stick together well.
• Use a cookie scoop, to create a ball of cake pop mixture. Pack the mixture together with your hands and roll into a ball. Then, place onto a baking sheet. Continue until you have used all of the mixture to create cake pop balls.
• Next, in a small microwaveable bowl, add a cup of candy melts and warm in the microwave 30 seconds at a time.
• Once melted, dip the treat sticks into the candy melt and then stick half way into each cake pop. Then, place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Melt the rest of the bag of candy melts using a microwave safe dish. Once melted, use a small bowl or narrow cup for the mixture, to make dipping easier.
• Dip the cake pops into the candy melt. Then, sprinkle on some pearl sprinkles.
• Set the cake pops into a place they can dry upright, without touching for 30 minutes.
• Enjoy!
