Let’s dive into what you’ll need to create these tasty treats!

 Cakesicle Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cake crumbs (from your favorite cake)
• ¼ cup frosting
• 1 cup chocolate chips or candy melts
• Popsicle sticks
• Sprinkles or other decorations (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cake mixture:

Combine cake crumbs and frosting in a bowl. Mix until well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.

2. Fill the molds:

Place popsicle sticks into the bottom of your cakesicle molds. Spoon the cake mixture into the molds, pressing down firmly to ensure it’s packed tightly.

3. Add chocolate coating:

Melt the chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate over the cake mixture in the molds, covering the top and sides.

4. Chill and decorate:

Refrigerate the cakesicles until the chocolate is completely hardened. Remove them from the molds and decorate as desired with sprinkles, edible glitter, or other toppings.

Tips:

• For a smoother finish, use a pastry brush to apply the chocolate coating.

•  If the cake mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of milk or melted butter.

• Get creative with your decorations! You can use anything from sprinkles and edible glitter to candy melts and chocolate chips.

Enjoy your delicious cakesicles!
