How to make No Bake Cake Pops for kids for 4th July

Step 1:

Take about a half of the cake loaf and crumble it into pieces. Make it a mixture of large and small pieces so that it is easier to mold later. 

Step 2:

Mix the cake crumbles with frosting or cream cheese. If the mixture becomes too dry, add more frosting or cream cheese. But if the mixture becomes too soft, you need to add more cake. keep mixing until you get a consistency that can be formed into a dough.

Step 3:

Grab a small handful of the cake mixture and roll it into a little ball in the palm of your hands. Make several balls of cake and set them aside. 

Step 4:

Break the white chocolate into little pieces and melt them together in a bowl. If your white chocolate is not melting easily try adding a bit of vegetable oil before melting. 

Step 5:

Take the red and blue sprinkles and spread them on a small plate. You can see we used an array of hues for the blues and reds and that’s ok! Be creative!

Step 6:

Stick skewers into the middle of the cake balls. Mould it again slightly so that it sticks better to the skewer stick. 

Step 7:

Dip the cakes on the stick into the bowl of melted white chocolate. Twist it around inside the bowl so that all sides of the cake is covered in the white chocolate. 

Step 8:

Take the chocolate covered cake pop and roll it around in the plate full of sprinkles. Do not press too hard while rolling so that the sprinkles do not end up covered in white chocolate again. 

There really are no rules to this step, roll it around, press it on, dip it in, sprinkle it on top. Whatever you want to do to get the cake pop covered in sprinkles, go ahead and do just that. 

Once the cake pops are patterns of red, white, and blue, set them on a plate and leave them in the refrigerator for a while. Leaving them in there is what will make sure they don’t fall apart. 

Once the white chocolate coating has hardened, take the cake pops out and voila!

Enjoy your new no bake cake pops. The best part about this recipe is that older kids can make these all by themselves. You can even substitute different colored sprinkles for different holidays or occasions.
