Impress guests with Fish Cake Pops made with Fruity Cheerios, Betty Crocker cake mix, and frosting - a fun dessert treat!
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1 cup from 1 tub (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped Whipped Cream Frosting
  • 2 cups purple candy melts or coating wafers (12 oz), melted
  • 2 cups green candy melts or coating wafers (12 oz), melted
  • 2 cups orange candy melts or coating wafers (12 oz), melted
  • 3 tablespoons shortening
  • 54 paper lollipop sticks
  • Purple, green and orange sanding sugar, if desired
  • 54 pieces Fruity Cheerios™ cereal
  • Small black confetti candies
  • Block of plastic foam
Instructions:
  • Prepare cake mix according to package instructions for a 13x9-inch pan with water, oil, and eggs. Allow the cake to cool. Line 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper. Crumble the cake into a large bowl and mix in the frosting. Shape the mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls and place them on one of the cookie sheets. Freeze until firm, then store in the refrigerator.
  • 1. In 3 separate bowls, mix each color melted candy with 1 tablespoon shortening until smooth. 2. Transfer 1/4 cup of each color candy into individual resealable plastic bags; seal the bags. Cut off a small corner of each bag, then pipe fish fins onto the prepared cookie sheet. 3. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
  • Dip one lollipop stick about half an inch into the melted candy and insert it into one cake ball, making sure not to push it in more than halfway. Place the cake ball back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate for 5 minutes. Take them out of the refrigerator one by one. Dip each cake ball into the melted candy until it's completely covered, tap off any extra, then roll it in sanding sugar. Quickly add the candy fins, cereal for the mouth and confetti for the eyes. Push the other end of the stick into a foam block and let them sit until the candy sets.
