For the Cake Pops:
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 8 oz vanilla frosting
- 2 tablespoons honey
Decorations:
- 16 oz white chocolate melting candies
- 8 oz yellow melting candies
- 8 oz green melting candies
- 1/4 cup Starbust® Jelly Beans
- 1/4 cup M&M’s® Milk Chocolate candies
- Sprinkles (assorted Spring colors)
- Pearl Sprinkles
- Black sprinkles (for eyes)
- 1/8 cup Mini Marshmallows (for feet and tails)
- 1/2 cup Shredded coconut (optional)
- Lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Prepare vanilla cake mix as directed. Let cool completely before proceeding to make cake pops.
- In the bowl of your mix master, break up the cakes. Add frosting and honey until the mixture is sticky enough to roll out.
- Roll out about a tablespoon amount of cake mix onto a parchment lined baking sheet. You should have about 2 dozen cake balls. Make sure to shape about ¼ of the cake balls into oval shapes for the eggs. Take a lollipop stick and carefully place underneath each cake ball to mark the hole for later. Refrigerate the cake balls for up to an hour or overnight.
- Melt down the white and yellow melting candies. Coat ¾ of the cake balls in the white chocolate and the remaining ¼ in the yellow chocolate. Let the chocolate set before continuing about 3-5 minutes.
For the Bunnies:
- Cut Starbust® Jelly Beans in half and mini marshmallows in half.
- With the remaining bit of white chocolate (you may have to reheat slightly if it has set), dab a little of the white chocolate on the jelly beans and place on top of each cake ball for the ‘ears’. Do the same with the marshmallows to create the feet and tail.
- Use a toothpick to dab a light bit of chocolate for the eyes and carefully place a black sprinkle.
- Finally, for the nose, cut the end off a jelly bean, dab with a little chocolate and place accordingly to finish each face of the bunnies.
- *If you like before adding the faces, immediately after coating the cake balls in the white chocolate, roll in finely shredded coconut flakes for the bunnies. This is optional.
For the Chickadees:
- Follow the same basic outline for the bunnies minus the mini marshmallows to create the faces on each chickadee. Use only the orange jelly beans.
For the Eggs:
- Finely chop about ¼ cup M&M’s® Milk Chocolate candies and set aside.
- Melt down the green melting candy and dip the bottom of each egg in the green chocolate.
- Sprinkle the chopped M&M’s® Milk Chocolate candies all around and place on the parchment lined baking sheet to set.
- Using a toothpick, dot each egg with the remaining green chocolate (or white chocolate if you prefer) and carefully place the sprinkles all over.
- One each of the cake balls have set, place the lollipop sticks in the holes we made earlier. Serve and enjoy!
