Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box White Cake Mix
- 1 Cup Water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 egg whites
- 16 oz vanilla frosting (store bought or homemade)
- 12 oz candy melts (use red, white, green, or brown for reindeer)
- Sprinkles or other candy melts for decorating
- Pretzels (if making reindeer)
- Mini Reese’s (for ornaments)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg whites. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Allow the cake to cool completely. Crumble the cake into fine crumbs.
- Add the vanilla frosting to the crumbled cake and stir until well combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes.
- Roll each spoonful into a smooth ball or shape into a tree. Insert a cake pop stick into each one and freeze until solid.
- Melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted candy and place the stick into styrofoam to set. Add sprinkles quickly.
- Once hardened, use melted candy melts in a piping bag to create decorations on the cake pops.
