- Place the cake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Melt the candy melts and temper them for a smooth finish.
- Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted candy, ensuring a smooth coating. Use a spoon to help if needed.
- Insert a wooden stick into the cake ball before the coating hardens completely.
- Let the coated cake pops set on a styrofoam block or parchment paper.
