Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Recipe “Best Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes” or XO Baking Co Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup grape seed oil
- 1 1/2 cups hot filtered water
- 1/2 cup homemade chocolate vegan frosting (see recipe below)
- 15 ounces Enjoy life Chocolate chips, Melted
Instructions
- Follow cupcake directions. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 10 inch square cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow cake to cool.
- While the cake is cooling, start frosting recipe. See recipe below.
- After the cake is cooled, crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl. Avoid any crispy corners.
- Add all the frosting, you will have 1/2 cup plus 1 Tablespoon.
- Mix well with your hands.
- Use a mini cookie scooper to get an even amount of cake dough. This is 2 tablespoons. Squeeze the cake dough and roll into balls. Place on a cookie sheet.
- Repeat to make approximately 35 cake balls. Refrigerate for an hour.
- In a small saucepan, melt 15 ounces of dairy free chocolate on low. Set aside.
- Remove cake balls from the fridge.
- Place a popsicle stick in the melted chocolate and press straight into cake ball while it is on the cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining cake balls. Place back in the fridge for 5 minutes so the chocolate will harden. Remove from fridge.
- Dip each cake ball into melted chocolate. Gently twirl cake pop while scraping off excess chocolate with a spatula and place on a sheet of parchment paper. Add desired sprinkles. Repeat with remaining cake pops.
- Once chocolate has hardened, place back on cookie sheet and store in the fridge. I remove my cake pops from the fridge 2 hours before serving so that they have time to soften. Enjoy!
