Bite-Sized Cake Treats (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 package white cake mix plus the called-for ingredients (eggs, milk, oil/butter).
02 - 1/4 cup cooking oil.
03 - 1/2 cup softened butter.
04 - 1 cup icing sugar.
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla.
06 - 1 teaspoon milk.

09 - 1 container decorative sprinkles.

# Instructions:

01 - Combine cake mix following package directions, with an extra 1/4 cup oil added. Cook as specified.
02 - Allow cake to sit for 15 minutes after baking. Take out of baking dish and break into tiny crumbs in a big bowl.
03 - Combine butter, icing sugar, vanilla, and milk, beating for 4 minutes till light and airy.
04 - Put 3/4 of your frosting into the cake crumbs. Stir until fully mixed. Add leftover frosting if mixture seems dry.
05 - Pack mixture into small balls. Put in fridge 10 minutes, then reshape for perfect roundness.
06 - Put balls in freezer for 30 minutes or fridge for 90 minutes.
07 - Heat chocolate in short 20-second microwave bursts, giving it a good stir each time.
08 - Push sticks into melted chocolate first, then into cake balls.
09 - Submerge balls in melted chocolate, gently tap off drips, then quickly add sprinkles before hardening.
10 - Place pops standing up to dry fully.

# Notes:

01 - Scratch-made frosting tastes way better than store-bought.
02 - Special candy coating holds up better than plain chocolate chips.
03 - Don't let your cake balls warm up or they'll slide off the sticks.
