Ingredients
Scale
1 box white or vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare)
1/2 cup vanilla frosting
12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Mini marshmallows (optional, for decoration)
Lollipop sticks
Instructions
Bake the cake according to package instructions and let cool completely.
Crumble the cake into a large bowl. Mix in frosting a little at a time until the mixture holds together like dough.
Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes.
Melt the white chocolate or candy melts according to package instructions.
Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert into a cake ball. Let set for a few minutes.
Dip each cake pop fully into the melted chocolate, gently tapping off excess.
Immediately roll in shredded coconut to coat. Press a mini marshmallow on top to resemble a tail puff, if desired.
Place upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set completely.
Notes
Chilling the cake balls helps keep them firm when dipping in chocolate.
Add a drop of almond or coconut extract to the frosting for extra flavor.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
