Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Ingredients
16.5ozpackage yellow cake mix
6ozplain fat-free Greek yogurt(Chobani)
1cupwater
2large egg whites
1tspvanilla extract
baking spray
48ozWilton blue chocolate candy melts(20 oz calculated in n.i**)
m&m's minis(for the rainbow)
48mini marshmallows(cut in half)
48lollipop sticks
styrofoam block
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray your cake pop pan with baking spray.
Combine all the cake ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat until combined.
Place the batter into a pastry bag or large ziplock bag with the tip cut off.
Pipe the batter into the prepared cake pop pan and bake about 18 minutes (I rotated the pan after 10 minutes to be sure they baked evenly). Let it rest 5 minutes before opening the pan.
Place cake balls on a wire rack and repeat with remaining batter.
Using a scissor, cut the seam off the balls. Refrigerate the cake balls for about 45 minutes, this helps the chocolate stick to the cake.
Melt some of the chocolate in the microwave according to package directions, careful not to burn the chocolate.
Insert the tip of the stick into the melted chocolate, then into the cake ball (this helps hold the stick in place).
In batches, melt remaining chocolate.
Dip the cake pops into the chocolate, let the excess drip off then place stick on a styrofoam block about a minute, and quickly add the m&ms and marshmallows to form a rainbow.
Notes
*Marshmallows and m&m's not calculated.**I weighed the chocolate on each ball to calculate the nutritional info. Although the recipe calls for 48 oz of chocolate, not all of it will be used, but you will still need to buy extra so you have enough to coat the cake balls. I calculated 0.4 oz of chocolate on each cake ball.
