If you’re looking forward to the holiday season, one of the things you’re probably feeling most excited about is the different treats you’ll get to prepare in anticipation of Christmas and the New Year. When you’d like to make something sweet and delicious that isn’t a cookie or pie, try this recipe for the Holly Jolly Cakesicle.

Cakesicles are cake pops that are shaped like a popsicle and covered in melted chocolate. Not only do children love these tasty treats, but so do adults! When you want to leave a lasting impression while preparing something fun, tasty, and simple, this is the perfect recipe to choose.

Ingredients You’ll Need for the Holly Jolly Christmas Cakesicle

• Candy Melts – You can use melting candy, Ghirardelli wafers, or almond bark to coat your cakesicle dough.
• Cake Pop Dough – Prepare the cake pop dough with ease and use it as the base for your cakesicles.
• Sprinkles – Select the perfect sprinkles to add to the melted chocolate over your cake pop dough. You can choose holiday-themed options, including red and green sprinkles.

How to Make Holiday Cakesicles

Melt one color of your candy melts and pour the melted mixture into the mold, spreading it up to the sides. 

Slide your popsicle sticks into the mold and then place them in the freezer for 15 minutes to let the melted chocolate harden. 

Remove from the freezer and use ice cream or cookie dough scoop to add a bit of the cake pop dough (I use this recipe) to each mold. 

Press the dough gently into the mold and then cover the back with melted chocolate before cleaning up the edges of the mold. 

Place in the freezer for an additional five minutes. 

Remove the cakesicles from the mold by carefully peeling them from the edges and pushing the popsicle up. 

Next, you can melt your chocolate or candy melts in a different color, add the melted chocolate to a piping bag, and decorate your cakesicles. Don’t forget to add some sprinkles on top.

Which flavor should I select for the candy melts?

When you’re preparing the Holly Jolly Cakesciles, it’s a good idea to use white chocolate because then you can decorate the treats with red and green candy melts. If you don’t want to use white chocolate, you can use dark or milk chocolate.

Which cake flavor do I need to use?

It’s fine to use any cake flavor that you prefer. For example, you may want to use chocolate cake or you may prefer using a vanilla cake. Use what you like and prefer to have when biting into these tasty treats.

How to Store the Christmas Cakesicles

After you’ve decorated the Holly Jolly Cakesicles and let them sit for a bit to dry, you can place them in a large food storage container, on a serving tray, or in a dessert box to keep them fresh until you’re ready to serve them.
