Equipment
- Mixer
- Small ceramic or glass bowl
- Warming plate
- Scooper
- Cake pop stand
Ingredients
- 1 package frosted sugar cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 12 oz meltable candy
- cake pop sticks
- patriotic sprinkles
Instructions
- Make the cake pop filling by blending all frosted sugar cookies in a mixer.
- Once the cookies are well crumbled, add the block of cream cheese and blend until smooth.
- Use a scooper to roll the cake pop filling into 1 inch balls and set aside on dish that you can later fit in your freezer.
- Melt 2 oz of the candy meltables in a microwave safe bowl.
- Dip the cake pop stick in meltable candy and stick in cake pop filling. This will ensure the cake pop stays in place on the stick.
- Freeze cake pops for at least 1 hour.
- While the cake pops are in the freezer, prep the cake pop decoration station. To do this you need a warming plate or burner to keep the meltable candy warm. You need a bowl with your sprinkles. You also need a place to set the assembled cake pops, ideally a cake pop stand.
- Melt the remaining candy meltables in a microwave safe bowl that is deep enough to dip the cake pop. Once melted, place on the warming plate or low burner to keep warm.
- Dip the cake pop fully into the candy meltable and swirl off excess.
- Add sprinkles and place in cake pop stand until meltable candy hardens.
- Store in refrigerator until served.
