Reindeer Cake Pops

On Dasher, on Dancer, you know the song, now we have all of the reindeer in a cake pop. These cake pops are sure to please the kids and adults at your holiday party or gathering. .

1 (18.25-ounce) Box Duncan Hines Chocolate Cake Mix

2/3 cup Cream Cheese Frosting

1 bag Vanilla Candy Wafers

2 (14-ounce) bags Milk Chocolate Candy Melts or Wafers

Vegetable Oil

Mini Pretzels (broken into 2cm sections)

Eyeball Sprinkles

Red M&M’s

Black Food Coloring

Lollipop Sticks

Treat bags

Large piece of Styrofoam

Foil

Double Boiler

Lay out a couple of ungreased pans, set aside. Cover a large piece of Styrofoam with foil, set aside. Prepare and bake cake according to package directions. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Break apart cake and place in a large bowl, then crumble completely. Stir in frosting, then blend together with hands until you have the texture of play-doh. Melt a small amount of vanilla candy wafers in a small bowl, set aside. Roll cake into an oval shape. Dip tip of lollipop stick into melted candy, then insert a little ways into the ball. Lay flat on pan. Repeat until all dough is used. *You will need to melt your vanilla candy wafers every so often to continue use. Place in fridge for 1 hour. While cake balls are chilling, break pretzels into 2cm sections, set aside. Just before removing from fridge, melt 1 bag of milk chocolate candy wafers along with 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a double boiler. Remove 5 cake pops at a time from the fridge. Carefully, remove from pan and dip most of cake pop in the melted candy. Use a spoon to drizzle the candy coating near the stick. Tap cake pop on the side of the pan so excess will drip off, then use your finger to smooth out the back. Place in styrofoam. Melt candy wafers as needed to continue use. Pour leftover melted candy in a bowl and save. Let cake pops sit for several hours to set. Reheat leftover hardened candy in bowl and use to seal any cracks in coating with the tip of your finger. Place back in styrofoam to harden. Melt leftover candy, then dip one end of the pretzels in it. Place on each side of the head making sure to hold for a few seconds until set. Dab a small amount of melted candy on back of eyeball sprinkles, then place on face and hold for a few seconds. Dab a small amount of melted candy on back of red M&M’s and place on face for a nose holding for a few seconds. Using a thin paint brush, dip in black food coloring, then paint a mouth. Let sit for a few hours. Place a treat bag over each cake pop and tie with ribbon.

*You will need 3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil for each bag of Chocolate Candy Wafers
