Pink new Years Cake pops with edible glitter

Tips and Tricks for Making This New Year's Cake Pops Recipe:

Make the top of your pie level by using a spoon or a spatula.
For a more festive look, top with whipped cream before serving.
In choosing the chocolates to be melted, you can either use the regular dark brown chocolate or the light-colored ones like pink, green and other pretty colors.
If you only have white chocolate on hand and do not want to buy, you can use that and just add a few drops of your desired food color.
Make sure to really mix it and don't melt it more than a minute to avoid burning it.
When tapping the excess chocolate from the cake pops, tap it on your hand gently and not directly on the brim of the bowl. It would definitely knock off the cake pops from the stick and you wouldn't want that 😉

Frequently Asked Questions for the New Year's Cake Pops Recipe:

Q: Can the cake balls be frozen?

A: Yes, for sure. You can make these ahead to avoid taking too much time on making your New Year's day dessert. Just thaw in room temperature at least 30 minutes before serving them.

Q: Can I add in condensed milk into the cake crumbs to make it stick?

A: Yes you can. But obviously, that would make this dessert much sweeter than it already is. Using frostings which are not too sweet might be better.

Q: How many cake balls can you make with this recipe?

A: I made about 15-20 cake pops. It would depend on how big your cake pops would be.
