🧸✨ Sweet Teddy Bear Pops Recipe ✨🧸
Makes about 12 pops
🍫 Ingredients:
- 1 box of vanilla or chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- ½ cup frosting (vanilla, chocolate, or cream cheese — your fave!)
- 12 lollipop sticks
- 1 bag (12 oz) milk chocolate or white chocolate melting wafers
- 24 candy eyes
- 12 brown or pink mini M&M’s (for the noses)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (for ears)
- Optional: sprinkles, edible glitter, candy bows, coconut flakes
🧁 Instructions:
1. Bake the Cake
- Preheat oven as directed on your cake mix box.
- Prepare and bake the cake in a 9x13 pan.
- Let it cool completely (very important).
2. Make Cake Balls
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl.
- Mix in the frosting — start with ½ cup and mix with clean hands or a spoon until it sticks together like playdough.
- Roll into 12 round balls for the bear heads.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour or freeze for 20 minutes.
3. Shape Your Bear Heads
- Slightly flatten the bottom of each ball to sit better on a surface.
- Cut mini marshmallows in half and press two halves onto the tops as ears.
- Insert a lollipop stick into each ball carefully.
4. Dip and Decorate
- Melt your chocolate wafers in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Dip each pop into the melted chocolate, gently tapping off excess.
- Quickly add:
- Candy eyes
- M&M nose
- Optional: sprinkle cheeks or coconut fur
Place on a parchment-lined tray and let them set (pop into fridge to speed it up).
5. Final Touches
- Add bows, edible glitter, or drizzle with contrasting chocolate to give your teddy bear pops personality!
