Elevate your party with vibrant balloon cake pops made with Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ cake mix and frosting.
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Party Rainbow Chip Cake Mix
  • 1 cup from 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Original Rainbow Chip Frosting
  • 2 cups each red, blue and yellow candy melts or coating wafers (12 oz of each color)
  • 3 tablespoons shortening
  • 54 paper lollipop sticks
  • 54 pieces Cheerios™ cereal
  • Block of plastic foam
  • String or ribbon, if desired
Instructions:
  • Prepare the cake mix as instructed on the box for a 13x9-inch pan using water, oil, and eggs. Let it cool. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Crumble the cake into a large bowl and mix in the frosting until well combined. Shape the mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls, place them on the cookie sheet, and mold each ball into a balloon shape. Freeze until firm and store in the refrigerator.
  • Microwave each color of candy melts with 1 tablespoon of shortening in microwavable bowls uncovered on Medium (50%) for 1 minute. Stir and continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  • Submerge each lollipop stick about 3/4 inch into melted candy and gently insert into 1 cake ball halfway. Slide 1 cereal piece onto the stick, press gently to stick to the cake ball. Place on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for 5 minutes. Take out a few at a time from the refrigerator. Dip 18 cake balls into each melted candy color, tapping off any extra. Insert the opposite end of the stick into a foam block and let it set. Secure a string or ribbon around the balloon.
