Trix Cereal Cake Pops Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease bottoms only of 2 (8- or 9-inch) round cake pans. Make cake batter as directed on box.
• Divide cake batter evenly between two separate bowls (about 2 cups each). In one bowl, add 25 drops yellow food color and 4 drops red food color; mix well. Stir in orange peel. Pour into one of the pans. In other bowl, add 25 drops neon green food color and 2 drops neon blue food color; mix well. Stir in lime peel. Pour into other pan.
• Bake and cool as directed on box for 8- or 9-inch rounds.
• Place green cake layer, top side down, on serving plate. Spread 1/3 cup frosting on top. Top with orange cake layer, top side up. Frost side and top of cake with remaining frosting. Sprinkle cereal on top of cake.

Steps:

• Line 9-inch square pan with foil, leaving enough to hang over sides of pan for easy removal; spray with cooking spray.
• In large microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High 30 to 45 seconds or until melted. Add marshmallows to bowl, stirring to coat. Microwave 60 to 90 seconds or until mixture is melted and can be stirred smooth. Stir in cereal and rainbow candy.
• With greased hands or waxed paper, firmly press mixture in pan; immediately sprinkle with candy sprinkles, pressing lightly to stick. Cool 30 minutes; remove from pan, and discard foil. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

Steps:

• Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool completely; crumble into a large bowl.
• With a large spoon, thoroughly mix cake and frosting.
• Roll mixture into quarter-size cake balls, and place on a waxed paper-covered cookie sheet. Place cake balls in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up. You can then transfer them to the refrigerator to keep chilled and avoid freezing.
• Place white candy coating in microwavable bowl so that the coating is at least three to four inches deep. Melt uncovered in the microwave in 30-second intervals on Low, stirring in between. Repeat until melted and smooth.
• Remove a couple of cake balls from the refrigerator at a time. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted coating, and insert into a cake ball no more than halfway through. Dip and remove the cake pop in one motion without stirring. Make sure the entire cake ball is covered. If your coating is too thick, you can add a little vegetable oil to help thin it and make it easier to work with.
• Remove and gently tap off any excess coating to fall off the pop and back into the bowl. Before the coating sets, gently press an orange candy-coated sunflower seed in position for a nose. Place in craft foam to dry.
• You can get creative with placement of candy and sprinkles for fun expressions and details. Here are a few ideas.
• For sock caps, dip white cake pops at an angle into melted blue candy coating and sprinkle with white sanding sugar while the coating is still wet. When dry, dot on more blue candy coating with a toothpick, and sprinkle with more sanding sugar. Use the toothpick to gently make indentions on the brim of the cap. Alternatively, you can use a toothpick to apply white candy coating for a white brim, and sprinkle with white sanding sugar.
• You can draw on eyes and mouths with a black edible pen and use various sprinkles and add-ons to give your snowmen character. Dot on a small amount of coating to attach blue mini candy-coated power mint candies for earmuffs and pink confetti sprinkles for rosy cheeks. Coal eyes and mouths can also be achieved by using black confetti sprinkles. And jumbo snowflake sprinkles are like the icing on the cake pop for these snowmen. Use them to adorn their cute little hats. Let dry completely, and enjoy!
