Delight your guests with these adorable Nutcracker Cake Pops, perfect for a festive Christmas party inspired by the Nutcracker Ballet. These whimsical treats are not only delicious but also serve as charming edible decorations.
Ingredients: 1 box of chocolate cake mix. 1 cup of chocolate frosting. 1 package of candy melts in various colors for decorating. 1/4 cup of powdered sugar for dusting. Lollipop sticks. Edible gold stars and sprinkles. Red and green food coloring optional.
Instructions: As directed on the package, bake the chocolate cake and allow it to cool completely. In a large mixing bowl, crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs. Mix the chocolate frosting thoroughly with the crumbled cake. Place cake mixture on a baking sheet that has been lined, forming it into tiny nutcracker-shaped balls. After each cake ball has a lollipop stick inserted, freeze for half an hour. Make sure to completely coat each cake pop by dipping it into the melted candy, which comes in a variety of colors. Allow any extra candy to fall off. Add edible gold stars and sprinkles to the candy coating while it's still wet to create nutcracker features. If desired, give the nutcracker faces some festive details by coloring them with red and green food coloring. Before serving, let the cake pops completely set. Add some powdered sugar to create a snowy look. For your Nutcracker Ballet Themed Christmas Party, arrange the Nutcracker Cake Pops on a serving tray!
