- 1 chocolate cake, baked and cooled
- 1/2 cup chocolate frosting
- 12 oz chocolate candy melts or chocolate chips
- 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream or vegetable oil
- 20 lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles or decorations, as desired
Instructions
- Crumble the cooled chocolate cake into a large bowl until fine crumbs form.
- Add the chocolate frosting and mix until the mixture is moist and holds together when pressed.
- Scoop small portions and roll into balls, then place on a lined baking sheet.
- Chill the cake balls for about 30 minutes, until firm.
- Melt the chocolate candy melts or chocolate chips with heavy cream or oil until smooth.
- Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate and insert it halfway into a cake ball.
